Duo v1 expansion: 2x 750GB to 2x 2TB - But Volume Not Larger
I had 2x 750GB Samsung disk's in my Duo v1. One disk recently failed, so I decided to upgrade to upgrade both disks to 2x SeagateBarracuda ST2000DM001 disks (they are on the HCL for the Duo).
Fist I replaced the dead 750GB HDD, and waited for it to sync. After the sync, the volume in frontview still showed volume capacity of 618GB (I'm using RAID1) which I exped as the other 750GB was still present.
Then I replaced the other (good) 750GB HDD with the other 2TB Seagate drive and let it sync. However, after this final sync, with both 2TB disks in the Duo, the volume still shows as 618GB and not larger. I've tried rebooting and shutting down but the previous volume size remains. When I changed both disks it was always a "hot swap" with the NAS on.
Any ideas what's up? Did I miss a step or is there something in front view i can do to get the volume to the correct size now there are 2x 2TB disks in the Duo?
Thanks in advance for any help with this :)

- OK, just figured out what I was doing wrong...
I thought I was looking for *2* flashes at 30 seconds - when in fact if holding down the reset button, the disk led's will only flash *once* at 5 seconds and then only *once* again at 30 seconds - this is when to let go of the reset button for a factory reset. I was somehow interpreting the instructions for this procedure incorrectly - doh! Anyway, I hope this helps others not fall in to the same trap I did. - The online boot menu FAQ is not as clear as the hardware manual on the flash pattern.
Hopefully the reset will solve your problem!
