I have 2 disks (1TB + 1.5TB) in a Storage Space. Free space shows up as 2.27TB.
I create a new Virtual disk with Simple layout (no redundancy). Maximum size for the virtual disks stops at 1.82TB (seems to be the 2TB drive limiting). I can then also create a second virtual disk of the remaining size.
Why can't I create a 2.27TB disk, isn't that possible?

I found a workaround: Add disk1 to the pool, and create a fixed Virtual Disk with a NTFS Volume (sized to the max of disk1). Then I add disk2 to the storage pool and extend the Virtual Disk, and extend the NTFS Volume. Then I can use all available storage from disk1 & disk2 in one NTFS volume.
I have to do it in two steps.
Can anyone confirm this behavior, or explain it to me?
