I am using a 2008 MegaRAID SAS 8888ELP. I was unable to boot into webbios, although I was able to install storcli onto my arch linux setup. The raid works well although I am new to using raid and storcli.
Currently, when I run storcli /c0 show this is the result:

The size of the disks say 1.999 TB. If you look to the right a bit it describes the actual size of the disks. ST4000DM000 is a 4 TB drive, ST3000DM001 is a 3TB drive, and the toshiba is a 3TB.
Why does it show up as 2TB?
How can I tell the raid that they are larger drives?
Any storcli commands I can use to do this?
Thank you for all the help!
