In the past, every time I've done an upgrade of drives, ReadyNAS has changed from Raid5 to Raid6 on me without asking if I wanted to do that.
It will do that if you are adding drives to an empty slot, but it cannot do that if all 8 slots are already in use.

From what I've been told by someone who looked at the logs. It seems that it tried to change the raid level when drive two finished syncing. But it never did and the volume is not expanded.
What drives sizes are installed now? 8x16TB?
If not, what is the mix of 10 and 16 TB drives?
Yeah I'll say that's not true. My old 428 had eight 6TB drives and when I went to all 10TB drives it flipped from raid5 to raid6 on me and I got stuck having to live with that for a few years.
She had eight 10TB drives in it and now all eight 16TB drives in volume 1

Has she tried rebooting?

I'd be willing to take a look at the log zip - if she is ok with that, you should send them with a PM (private message). You do that using the envelope link in the upper right of the forum page.
The logs would need to be put into cloud storage (dropbox, google drive, etc), with a download link in the PM.
There is some privacy leakage - if email alerts are configured, I'd see the email address, for example.
