Full volume not recognized
Hi,
I have a ReadyNAS Duo that I used to have a single 500GB disk in and I use it solely for TimeMachine backups for the Macs in the household. I then added a 2TB disk in the second slot and I got it mirrored alright (although with 1,5 TB of wasted volume). I have now replaced the 500GB disk with another 2TB disk and everything is mirrored and up and running. But, only the 500GB are allocated and available for the backups. How do I make the entire disk recognized and available?

- Has the volume expanded?
If so you could go to Backup > Time Machine and increase the quota for Time Machine to the amount of free space on your volume. - How can I tell if the volume has expanded? If I go to Backup > Time Machine it says 230 in Capacity and in the Volumes settings 461GB allocated per 2TB disk.
- O.K. expansion has not occurred.
Reboot the NAS, wait 5-10 minutes and if expansion hasn't started reboot once more.
What brand and model 2TB disks are you using?
Can you download your logs (Status > Logs > Download all logs), extract the zip file and post the contents of partition.log? - Great, two reboots made the trick, thx!
