Adding a disk to ReadyNAS Pro for RAID5/6 volume expansion?
I have been running a Pro Business unit with 4 2TB disks, configured with one RAID5 and one RAID6 volume. Now, I added another disk and want to extend the two volumes to use the new disk. Frontview on...
Disk 5's partitions are 4k sector aligned. The rest are not.
I don't know if this will solve your expansion issue but I'd suggest doing the following:
1. Wait for the expansion of Volume C to complete (if it hasn't already)
2. Hot-remove (remove while NAS is on) disk 1.' wait a minute or so then hot-add the disk.
3. Wait for the resync to complete then repeat the process for disks 2, 3 and 4 waiting for the resync to complete before moving onto the next disk.
