Thought of that one already... sorry, I should have mentioned that I did reboot the nas, but still no recognition of the fact that the disk space has now doubled.  After reboot- I'm showing RAID level X redundant at 80% of 964 gb [the old 1tb drive size], but if I look at each volume, it is indeed showing 1863 gb [the new 2tb disk size].

 

Anyone have another thought?

 

Thanks
