- insert last drive - 30 seconds later it started to rebuild.  I could see the "Add Parity" button greyed out and nothing happened when clicked. This Add parity button disappeared once the new disk had completed rebuilding.
The process does not offer to allow me to delete newly created volume

I am left with RAID 5 XRAID -- I am at a loss about how to get to dual parity.

 

Unfortunately, once the volume has expanded you can't get to dual parity.

Ouch.  That means I need to start again. If I redo the process, it sounds like the instruction to put all the drives into the RNAS and quickly switch to Flex-RAID is the way to go.
