Changing from Flex-RAID to X-RAID
I was casually looking at the volumes tab of my ReadyNAS admin page. And so I noticed that the X-RAID button was not lit. I specifically recall getting a ReadyNAS specifically for X-RAID capabilitie...
Your logs show a 4x2TB RAID-5 layer and a 3x2TB RAID-5 layer. Replace the 3TB disk with a 4TB disk and you should get some more expansion.
Quick reply:
Crucial things are backed up, changed the thing to X-RAID, nothing happened, so I rebolted the device and still nothing seems to be happening in the way of expansion.
I am not seeing much activity in the logs either aside from background services started and the fact that we rebooted.
OS is 6.5.0.
I believe I saw some thread about replacing a drive and the result or progress didn't show anywhere until it was actually done. Could this be something similar? And how long would this theoretically take? I understand if there's an entire index needing to be rewritten but am not too experienced with RAID arrays myself.

Please send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig).
