Added Larger Hard Drives, Resynced, but still same space
I apologize, ReadyNas was designed so perfect I hardly touched the thing. I decided to add larger hard drives but still I dont see the extra space. OS is at the latest release Here is my original ...
If you did not have XRAID enabled, then the NAS rebuilt according to the rules for FlexRAID, which is exactly what you got. I've never tried enabling XRAID after a FlexRAID resync to see if it then sees the empty space and adds it to the array. It is certainly worth a try. If it doesn't work, you may have to one at a time format the new ones and let them sync again, but in XRAID mode. Without XRAID enabled, rebooting will not help. With it enabled, then try a reboot if the NAS does not see the empty space on its own.
Oh I will try to reboot a few times after work to see if your suggestion will work.

You were spot on. It was using Flex Raid not X Raid. Doing the resync now and have 4 TB more free space
