ReadyNAS NV+ v2: Adding a new disk issue
Have three WD Red 3TB drives running XRAID2 (redundant). Provides 5.4TB of space. Added a 4th 3TB WD Red, but not adding to the overall space. Checking the status, the log reports new disk detec...
Perhaps try removing the new drive and reinserting it (with the NAS running).
Yup ... tried that. Rebooted and then tried again. Unfortunatly, didn't fix the issue.
Still at bit of a loss as to what to try next.
Thanks
Perhaps wait a day or so, and see if someone from Netgear wants to take a look (or look at logs).
One option of course is to do a factory reset, but that requires rebuilding the NAS and restoring the data.
You could also try a couple more reboots, and see if the process starts.
Hello jabbott,
If you have enabled email alerts maybe you will also be able to get more details about the expansion. See article:
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20981/related/1
Another option is to backup all the files then factory reset to get fresh install with all the 4 disks.
You may also try contacting support center at 1-888-NETGEAR (1-888-638-4327) where they will get an L3 remote in, this however requires a per incident support contract.
