expanding readynas pro 6 past 16tb
I have just upgraded the disks in my readynas to 4x4tb and 2x3tb. Once I put the disks in I did a factory reset and it started to build a volume of 13.2tb ie it was seeing each disk as 3tb. Once it finished and I rebooted it it said it had found extra space and was expanding. Almost immediately it said it had failed.
Have I been trapped into the 16th expansion problem - ie if you are going beyond 16tb you must put in equally sized disks otherwise it wont expand into the unequal ones?
I did upgrade radiator to latest version before I started.

- Yes.
Some users decide to run OS6 as that doesn't have this expansion limit, but our support team does not support running OS6 on the legacy units.
