novice ReadyNAS user: "volume expansion failed", how to address this problem?
Hi all, I'm very much a novice when it comes to this machine (I just have put in drives and used it) and I'm having a problem, really hope someone can help. I've just added a WD 6TB drive to my l...
Is this your current drive configuration:
1) Western Digital WDC WD30EFRX-68AX9N0 2794 GB
2) Seagate ST4000VN000-1H4168 3726 GB
3) Seagate ST4000VN000-1H4168 3726 GB
4) Seagate ST4000VN000-1H4168 3726 GB
If so, you should have an 11 TB volume (10 TiB reported by the NAS).
Since you have a full backup, you perhaps should do a full factory reset, and then restore the data from the backup.
Thanks again for the reply.
You're close on the setup, here are the bays they are in:
| Disk 1 | ST4000VN000-1H4168 3726 GB (30 °C / 86 °F, Write-cache On). Status: OK |
| Disk 2 | WDC WD30EFRX-68AX9N0 2794 GB (34 °C / 93 °F, Write-cache On). Status: OK |
| Disk 3 | ST4000VN000-1H4168 3726 GB (34 °C / 93 °F, Write-cache On). Status: OK |
| Disk 4 | ST4000VN000-1H4168 3726 GB (32 °C / 89 °F, Write-cache On). Status: OK |
Looks like a reset is going to be necessary (what I thought, just wanted confirmation :-) Rats, that's a lot of data moving still to do!
Really appreciate it, I'll be back in a few days with the results.
