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...
Well one option would be to backup your data, do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) and restore your data from backup.
I forgot to mention its been two months. It finished rebuilding a long time ago.
In that case can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
I sent the logs through yesterday. They only appear to cover a few days though.
Did you grab the full set of logs? They can be downloaded and are contained in a zip file.
Go to "System" -> "Logs" --> click the "Download Logs" button on the left side.
Yes, thats what I did. Then emailed them per the instructions.
Could a firmware update have reset the logs?
Would the logs still show why only 16TB is available and not 21TB like all the information says there should be?
