RN104 Wrong total disk Size
I have a RN104 with 2 drives, 1x4TB and 1x2TB configured as JBOD. I pulled out the 2TB and cloned the disk to a new 6TB and resized the partition to take the full size of the disk.
When the 6TB was plugged into the device, ReadyNAS correctly identified the disk as a 6TB but the total space available remained the same.
Is there a way to fix this?

I think all you need to do is manually expand the btrfs file system via ssh.
Since the volume is named data, the command would be btrfs filesystem resize max /data
If you haven't used ssh before:
- first enable it in system->settings->services
- then log in as root (for instance, enter ssh root@NAS-IP-ADDRESS from the windows search bar (using the real NAS IP address of course). The password is the same as your NAS admin password.
This is definitely done at your own risk.
How did you re-size the partition? The ReadyNAS JBOD still uses MDADM RAID, it just creates RAIDs without redundancy. If you didn't also expand the RAID, the file system won't expand because it's mounted on the RAID, not directly on the partition. What does cat /proc/mdstat return from ssh? Or alternately, what's the content of mdstat.log from the downloaded logs?
This is the output from cat /proc/mdstat
