Were the 4x2TB disks in the NAS when you last did a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything)?
There is an 8TB expansion limit over the life of the volume.
Do you have a backup?
Also note that 4.2.21 was released some years ago now. 4.2.28 is the latest firmware for your NAS.

Hi Mdgm,
Thanks for your reply.
Our RN 3100 came with 8TB raw disk space and we never did any changes on the configuration.
Our plan is take full data backup before performing any changes.
So how i can bring this device working with 16TB raw data (4 x 4TB HDDs) instead of 8TB raw data (4 x 2TB)
I am bit confused about the 8TB expansion limit over the life of the volume in your reply. Could you please explain the same.
Also i would like to know how i can upgrade the firmware
