HDD Replacement - Expected Rebuild Time
Hi, I have a Netgear Utlra 6 with 5x2TB drives and 1x3TB drive. I removed one of my 2TB drives and then replaced it with a brand new 3TB drive. The rebuild has started but has been going for 3 days...
I have never completed a factory restore. I purchased this in Nov-2011 and first installed 5 x 2TB drives. I only installed the 2 x 3TB in last week. I am not familiar with the restrictions of online expansion, didn't realise there were any, but does mean I cannot expand beyond 10TB of "actual" available space or "theoretical" (5 x 2TB HDDs) space?
I am running Radiator v4.2.19 and noticed the latest version available from the system update is v4.2.20, (v4.2.21 from direct download - not sure why this is different) but didn't want to start messing with firmware since everything is currently working fine and I don't have backups of my data if something goes wrong. I was under the impression that my version of firmware is able cater for 3 TB drives. Do you think this might be causing my volumes not to expand, or perhaps the issue mentioned previously?
