RN628x - XRAID not expanding volume when adding a third disk.
Hi, I have added a third disk to my ReadyNAS 628X, due to getting low on disk space. I'm using X-RAID, so my understanding is that the system should detect the new drive automatically, then convert...
Hi, Yesterday I formatted the disk again and tried to create a volume on it (no RAID). It failed. The alert said it "could not find the disk, please make sure it is inserted correctly." I also noticed that although the NAS was showing the disk in the list, it could not read the temperature of it. So I removed it and tried an old WD Black 2TB disk in the slot. that worked fine and created a volume. So from this I can only think the new disk is faulty.
I have request an RMA to return it for a refund. I'll buy another disk from somewhere else.
Thank you for everyones help with finding the solution.
The screen shot you posted does show that the Linux core sees the drive as the same size as the others, but ReadyNASOS has done nothing with it. It doies not appear that the FORMAT you did "took" for some reason, as partitioning has not occurred. You should download and save the logs. Somebody from Netgear may want to take a look and see if they can figure out what is going on.
