Adding new 4TB disk in JBOD
Hi there,
I have 2 WD 4TB disks. If I create a JBOD volume with one, the option to 'Expand' is greyed out on the other.
I can add two volumes, I can add spanning RAID0, however I cannot create a spanning JBOD. I have certainly done this before on this unit, albeit with a 2TB and 2x1TB disks.
The disks are both functional, the states are reported as 'ONLINE', I have tried formatting, factory resetting the unit to no avail. I have created the initial JBOD volume on both and tried to expand into the other without success.
Can anyone help?

Nevermind, resolved 5 minutes after posting.
'Expand' was unavailable, but I did not think to click 'Add group, which grouped the disks into a single JBOD volume.
Hi DavidL82
JBOD is available only on volumes consisting of a single hard disk, so expanding JBOD is not possible.
JBOD can be concatenated or spanned through forming a single logical volume or LUN. More information here.
