Change ReadyNAS duo v2 disk space
For long time ago I tested my ReadyNAS duo with a disk 160GB, and it worked. Then I installed a 2TB drive into slot 2 and let it be synced as X-raid. After that replaced 160GB by a 2TB disk. And I us...

Not sure if it will work for this, but it does no harm to try it.

The Duo always shipped with RAIDiator 4, so I don't think using that add-on will achieve anything.
If a reboot or two doesn't trigger expansion then the factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) option I s probably the only option.
Was that add-on all the way back in RAIDiator 3.x? I can't tell by the file date, as I did something wrong and all the dates got updated to current back when I changed main NASes in 2016.

The timestamp inside the bin says it was created on August 4, 2007.
From the description and download location, it looks like it is a Raidiator 4.0 app intended to force expansion of XRAID volumes originally created on Raidiator 3.x.
Success!
I did upload the ForseExpansion.
When doing the required reboot of NAS It was a check box about Check volume or disk(?). I tick it and reboot. And now it works!
Perhaps it was the check proceedure, or both to make it work.
Thanks a lot!
