New disk installation
Hello,
I have to replace a disk failed on my ReadyNAS NV; I have phisically replaced the hard disk with an other one and I now I need to add the Volume.
When I go to the volume setting I don't see the new disk but if I go on the system status/Health I can see all the disks.
Do you know why?
Thanks

After the reboot I have seen the new disk available for the volume creation but when I add it the system was not able to add
This is the log
Sat Apr 19 08:40:02 CEST 2014 Volume D failed to be added. - You must be using flexraid.
Remove the new disk.
Upgrade your firmware.
Delete any existing partitions from the new disk using a PC.
Reinsert the new disk. - xraid and flexraid are the only two modes of operation, so you have to be running one or the other. Since you have 4 volumes, it must be flexraid.
4K sector (2 TB) drive support was added in 4.1.7. So vandermerwe is correct, you need to update your firmware and reinstall the new disk. - Many thanks to all!!
Now it works.
The volume have been added successfully
