Disk 5 not fully allocated? (Case #: 18935527)

ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus
Configuration: RAID Level X-RAID2, 5 disks
Status: Redundant

Ch 1 : WDC WD5000AAKS-65YGA0 [465 GB] 461 GB allocated
Ch 2 : WDC WD5000AAKS-65YGA0 [465 GB] 461 GB allocated
Ch 3 : Seagate ST31500341AS [1397 GB] 1392 GB allocated
Ch 4 : Seagate ST31500341AS [1397 GB] 1392 GB allocated
Ch 5 : Seagate ST31500341AS [1397 GB] 461 GB allocated

I have been adding the disks one by one up until now, everything was going swimmingly. But...
I've restarted many times already, why hasn't the rest of Ch5's HDD been allocated?

  • :S I just wanted to know if this is normal since this is my first X-RAID unit. Should it expand? Do you think it's an error?

    I don't want to bother support if this is normal.

    Support should be able to tell what's wrong from looking at your logs. Occasionally there can be issues that prevent expansion from taking the place.
  • I would not wait until monday. They will probably respond the the requests in the order they show up in the queue.
  • Thanks for the tip m8. I just submitted a ticket. I was looking at the live chat support :)
