Failed Hard Drive Upgrade
Hi Team. I have an RN316 slowly built it up to have 6x 3TB Drives. (started with 3) Then I have slowly replaced the 3TB drives with 8TB Drives (one at a time) For a while I was running fine on ...

Does the System to really want me to replace the last 2 3TB bays with 8TB I wonder?
Note it was telling you it can't expand the volume (which is true). Though it is a confusing message to get on a disk replacement.

So my plan of attack is test the old bay4 3TB in a windows pc. If passes. Zero data, Put in bay5then allow for resync?
Now just to double check here it is bays 1-6 right and not bays 0,1,2,3,4,5 right?
Yes, that is the right process. The disk test definitely uses 1-6 numbering.
It's an important question though, as some linux errors do use 0-5, and it is really important to identify the correct disk.
Just finished testing the old bay 4 drive and it passed so Zeroed the data.
Placed it in Bay 5 (which Readynas said had failed) Both old 4 and the bay 5 drives were 3TB Red Drives.
(Previous) Bay 5- WDC_WD30EFRX-68EUZN0
Old Bay 4 now in Bay 5 WDC WD30EFRX-68EUZN0
This is the error message I got right before it said it was starting the resync
Failed to expand volume with disk Model: WDC WD30EFRX-68EUZN0 from Channel 5. Volume requires drive capacity to be the same size or larger before volume expansion can begin.

**Update. The previous bay 5 drive.. Too many bad sectors..
Checked the warranty status.. out by 1 month.. still checking with the shop though to see if I can get something done.

The new bay 3TB (old one from bay 4) has gone in to bay 5 and the Resync has been completed still have a red iight on bay 4 (on the nas) still green on the OS, doing another disk check.
Thank you for your help StephenB.
A disc check on the NAS passed once I replaced the drive with bad sectos (although the light in the bay was still red)
I done a restart. Now for what ever reason I can not access the NAS via SMB w10 or Mac OS. It is not showing up on Network Locations, on both. I can still access it via a web browser.
And it has appeared bia AFP on my Mac
But if I go to \\IPADDRESS\ I get the 0x80004005 error.
I can ping it as well
I ahve checked the SMB settings I ahve not changed anything there.
SMB Transport Encryption is set to Enabled
Strict Sync is on
When I do the Windows Diagnotics it is saying the NAS is refusing SMB connections
What status is RAIDar giving you?
