Upgraded Pro6 X-RAID2 (Raid-6) array but no extra space allocated
As of yesterday the 6 drives in my 4.x Pro6Pro6 were the following:
3x3x 1TB1TB Drives
3x3x 2TB2TB Drives
The X-RAID2RAID2 allocation was 3.7TB7TB which makes sense since it allocated 937GB937GB/disk with 2-disks worth of space lost for redundancy.
One of my 1TB1TB drives was giving me tons of SMART errors so I prepre-empitvelyempitvely replaced it with another 2TB2TB drive.
I had expected that my total allocated space would now jump since I now have four drives with ~2TB~2TB of space but my allocation stayed at 3.7TB7TB once the array was rebuilt.
This X-Raid Calculator confirms I should have upwards of 5.3TB3TB of space with this new 2TB2TB drive added.
Can somebody please explain why my allocation did not increase?
Thanks
## Update ##
I just checked my logs and I see the following:
Found space that can be used to expand capacity, expansion process will start during next boot.
Nevermind!

Hi SiegeX,
After reboot, did the expansion started?
Kind regards,
