hard drive upgrade (replace existing)
I have a NV+ that has 4x750GB drives configured as XRaid and running v4.1.5. FYI, I never expanded their capability to the additional 40gb. In any case, I am about to replace the 4 drives with 4x1.5...
I have a related inquiry.
I'm trying to move from 4x 750 to 3x 2TB on my NV+. I expected that to move me from 2TB total storage to ~3.6TB. The new drives are listed on the compatible list (Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST2000DL003).
I put the drives in one at a time (starting with 3,2,1) and let them complete the drive initialization and re-sync. After that I had drives 1-3 as 2TB and drive 4 as 750. Since X-raid is limited by the smallest drive (or that's my understanding), I pulled drive 4 out and completed a re-boot with filesystem and quota check.
The NAS booted up and drive 4 is blinky (though the bay is empty) and it's still saying it's 2TB total.
How do I tell it to re-think the raid array size? If I can't get it to work, I'll just buy a 4th matched drive but I was hoping to save a few bucks for a few months.
Thanks!
