Larger Disks - No More Space
I have a RN526X running OS 6.6.1. I had two (2) 1TB Seagate drives in the unit using X-RAID. At that point, the system showed:
data 133.79 GB
Snapshots: 11.95 GB
Free Space: 779.34 GB
RAID 1
That adds up to 905.08 GB which makes sense for two 1TB drives.
Yesterday, I upgraded the drives, one at a time to 2 TB Seagate drives. I exchanged one drive, let the sysstem rebuild itself, then swapped out the other drive and let the system rebuild itself. The system is now reporting Healthy and the Volumes screen shows a 2TB drive in Bay 1 and Bay 2, but it also shows the same amount of Free Space.
Shouldn't the Free Space be significantly larger with the new drives?

O.K. Weirdly your root volume was showing up as having four disks not two. I fixed that.
The RAID had not expanded to use the additional space on the two disks so I manually triggered that. This may take an hour or two or so to complete.
Once that is done the volume should then expand automatically.

I've downloaded my logs and am trying to send them to you via a private message but I don't see a way to attach a file. Is there another way?

Finally found how to send logs via email. They have been send.
