Missing Storage Readynas 516
I am running my 516 nas with 6 x 4TB hard drives = 24TB in XRAID RAID 5 My NAS tells me i have 10.11TB Free Space Used Data 4.33TB i thought 24TB's in Raid 5 would give me 20TB space I started of w...
After a Resync the volume has now expanded showing correct size 18.07TB instead of 14.43
OK. I presume sde is Disk 5... I'll replace the disk and see if it resyncs to full capacity.
No no, the issue is not with the hard drive. It's not a physical issue. Sde4 is "just" a partition, that is a RAID member. You have to fix the RAID.
I'd grow md126 to 6 devices, and remove / add sde4 if necessary (using mdadm).
So somehow OS6 messed up the X-RAID expansion :smileyfrustrated:
Should there not be only a md126? Why the md127?
I'm not familiar with "mdadm" and RAID. So I'll probably have to backup (painfull) and do a factory reset.
Thanks for the tips.
BR.
In your situation, it's normal that there is md127 and md126.
I can fix this easily. I've sent you a PM.
When you vertically expand your data volume (expand by adding higher capacity disks) it will create another RAID layer. So rather than just having a md127 you'll have a md126 as well.
It is resyncing.
Fixed here too :smileyvery-happy:
After resync the volume has now corrrectly expanded to 9.07TiB
Thank You!!!
