Admin page System Overview has red bar for a nearing full volume?
The Overview page has the volumes and the one that is near full is showing as a full red bar?
Is this just a warning it's nearly full or have I done something wrong with my RAID set up? I'm very new to this, but the volumes look like they are reportedly healthy, so I don't understand the alarming colour.
Thanks for any and all suggestions/help :)
It's red because it's too full. Generally Netgear begins warning about capacity planning when the volume reaches 70% full - yours is about 90%.
It looks like you haven't put any shares on your second disk - so begin by creating a share on it, and moving some files over from the main volume.
Another path (perhaps better) is to delete the second volume, and replace the second disk with a larger one - e.g. another 6 TB one. Then create some shares on it, and move about half your files over to it.
