Added two more disk

I have two disks which are working on XRAID mode. I bought 2 additional 3TB Hitachi Disks.

 

I have inserted first into bay number 3 and after that I inserted the second disk into bay 4.

On webpage I see that Disk from Bay 3 Is Syncing (Status: Online). But disk in Bay 4 is black in Systen / Volumes graph  (Status: Unknown). Is this temporary because third disk in Bay is still syncing and after it's done the fourth disk will start syncing also or is this a failure?

 

  • yes, the disks will sync/expand one at a time, just be patient.
