Problem with expanding X-RAID
On RN314 was 4x 3TB WD RED. We changed them for 4x 6TB WD RED. After changing last HDD (We changed in this order: position 4,3,2,1) and complete raid expand we get this:
It seems as 4th disk aditional capacity (3TB) was not added to RAID.
When i checked it on phpsysinfo i see this:
md126 is aditional spare on new 4x 6TB HDD. md127 was RAID on original 4x 3TB HDD drives.
Tried restart, no chages.
Is there any way to repair this and not losat abou 3TB of space without factiry reset? Can anyone help me? I prepared logs from this RN314 unit.
Thank you very much.
md126 is not a spare, it is a new raid group that was created for the vertical expansion.
One option is to remove the disk that didn't expand, unformat it (for instance with windows) and then hot-insert it.
