New drive installed, not expanding
I installed a WD Red 2TB in place of my failing 1TB Seagate. the resync went fine, but it isn't expanding the volume. It has been about 24 hours. I have rebooted it a few times. I have done this with other drives that failed and had no issues. The logs do not indicate anything. Is there something I should be trying? Many thanks.

- Can you upload your logs to dropbox or something and send me a PM with the URL?
- Oh, do you have 2 2TB drives? Volume won't expand unless the additional 1 TB from each 2TB disks can be redundant.

Ahh, no, the second is on the way, but now that you mention it, I forgot about that little detail. Thanks! :D- Thanks for the logs.

You have 6 disks in the unit according to the NAS.
Only 1 is 2 TB. You need 2 2 TB disks to expand the volume. I recommend replacing the 465 GB with a 2 TB or the 750 GB with a 2 TB. Try to get rid of smaller disks.
