The proper way to add new disks
Hi!
I got an ReadyNas NV+ RND 4220 with two 2TB disk and are trying to add two 4TB disks for more space.
I have adde the disks in the cabinet and syncronised the volumes, but just got "Disk attempted to add is too small" in the log and no more spece.
I have tried to read the manual and been searching here but I am lost in finding the propper way to do it.
Could someone please give me some direction where to start.
Regards / Örjan
Hi maror
Welcome to the Community!
NV+ has a limit of 2TB disk that can be added to it, NV+V2 has 4TB as the largest. If you were able to get the 4TB synced you might have a V2.
V1 should have OS 4.x.x and V2 has OS 5.x.x, what firmware do you have?
If you have V1 it might certainly be the cause why you are getting the message.
To add disk for expansion you might want to check this article and the ff as this may relate to your inquiry as well.
