When I added a 5th drive I did not gain any space

I have a ReadNAS 516 with the latest firmware. I had 4x 6TB WD RED drives installed on XRAID Raid5 and 16.3GB or storage. I added another 6TB WD RED drive and still only have 16.3TB and still on raid 5. Any idea what the problem is?

  • Well one option would be to backup your data, do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) and restore your data from backup.

        In that case can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
