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 too would really like to see Netgear provide the option of offline expansion to overcome the 8 TB lifetime expansion limit, if this is at all feasible given the current state of the resize2fs tool. Or, let us know if the command line (with ssh enabled, of course) can be used as a workaround to expand beyond the 8 TB expansion limit. I cannot expand my Ultra 6 Plus volume beyond it's current size of 8.3 GB because another drive will bump in to the 8 TB lifetime expansion limit, since I installed my drives 1 disk at a time when I first started up my system (as the Readynas manual suggested).
If there is a workaround to the 8 TB lifetime expansion limit (other than backup-factory default-restore), I would really like to see it made available or at least documented.
Thanks!!
