Adding a volume failed
I am reaching 80% of storage use on my 2 volumes (2T each) NAS. So I decided to add another disk. I bough the same type (seagate baracuda) but 3T. When I add the disk
I receive this message:
The disk attached to channel 2 could not be initialized. The most common reasons are RAID resync in progress, faulty drives, and disks that are too small to be added to the array.
I have disk on channel 3 and 4 which are working fine and are fully redundant. I use the X-Raid configuration. What are the steps to troubleshoot?
Please help, Thank you
