accessing disk 2 in a r102 (6.1.4)

accessing disk 2 in a r102

I've just bought a new r102 (my first NAS) came whit a 1TB toshiba disk and I installed a 3tb Seagate disk that I know is compatible whit the r102.
I can see the disk in system status first i had a yellow circle and the text degraded (apx 40 min) and now it has a green light, it says it's online, and all data looks like the disk 1. but still the "data" on the overview page only contains 888.88 GB...
it's the newest firmware on the r102 (6.1.4) and it's been like this for at least 4 hours...

  • You wouldn't have expansion of file system by just adding 1 disk. You basically go from JBOD (1 disk) to RAID 1 (2 disk). If you replace the original disk 1 with a 3TB disk, your volume should expand. You need 2 or more disks of equal size in order to have more space (redundancy).
