Readynas 626x expansion
New Readynas 626x running 6.6.1. I started with 2 2tb drives in the default xraid config. I then added 4 4tb drives, so I now have two 2tb drives in slots 1,2, and the rest are 4tb drives. The xra...
Did you try to reboot the NAS? It's not unheard of that a reboot helps trigger the creation of the sub RAID array on the unused capacity.
You can also download the logs from the GUI and look into systemd-journal for "expansion".
Thanks for the reply! I did reboot, but I haven't looked at the logs. I'll go grab those and take a look. Thanks!

Can you download your logs and send those in (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?Useful links: Sending Logs|My ReadyNAS Gear|FAQ|Hardware Compatibility List|Docs: Setup Guide, Manual|Downloads|Unofficial Tips|GPL|MDGM on Twitter|MDGM's Unofficial Guides
Hey Xiao - I ended up opening a case and uploaded the logs there - 28295821 . Thanks!
Looking at smart_history.log and disk_info.log it looks like one of your disks in your EDA500 is failing. The EDA500 volume was resyncing at the time you sent in the logs.
In the main chassis, the vertical expansion partition on sde (channel 4 counting from 0 to 5, so disk 5 counting from 1 to 6), i.e. partition 4 on sde, i.e. sde4 is marked as a spare. So the volume hasn't expanded.
It's possible to force it to use the new disk.
