Expanding NV+
Hi Folks, I have a question related to progressive expansion of my NV+ as I can't seem to get it to expand to the full capacity and I suspect it is due to the sequence I have used to expand. Origina...
I seem to be having a similar problem with resizing. The unit is sending a not very helpful error message of "Disk capacity expansion error. resize2fs". My partion log contains:

I've upgraded from four 500MB drives to four WD2002FAEX-007BA0 (1862GB) drives under X-RAID and firmware 4.1.8. The existing volume is still redundant and accessable and other than the inability to expand to the full capacity of the new drives, everything is working OK. Back-up and factory reset? :(
