4.2.20 : Volume expansion will not work beyond 16 TB...
Can someone explain to me what that means or give us more details ...
I agree with the warning for expansion over 16TB. The offline expansion instructions will help you to overcome the 8TB expansion limit, which was my issue. I noticed that a relatively new version of resize2fs is included on the ReadyNAS, however I understand that this tool only reliably expands filesystems over 16TB that where over 16TB at start.
TeknoJnky's suggestion to include offline expansion somehow in the firmware sounds like a good idea to me. It resolves the issue that many people are having with a ReadyNAS when they are faced with the 8TB expansion limit. From experience I can confirm that relying on support to resolve this can be a lengthy affair...
