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...
Everyone:
Thanks for all the knowledgeable advice. The system was in fact using the old 4k block size and was hanging up on the expansion to >5TB. I backed up the volume and then nuked the NV+. Its always nerve wracking when pushing the button to wipe out an entire working drive, but your advice lessened the aprehension (plus two backups of everything). After the Factory Reset, all is now good and I've started shuffling data back into the NV+ with enough room to spare for at least a few years. The only hiccup was the new default password imposed when doing the reset, which was a bit of a surprise and required some additional trolling of the forum to find the secret word. Thanks again.
