NV+ upgraded hard drive - capacity the same

I had 4 1.5 TB drives in my ReadyNas NV+.  Over the last week I've slowly hot swapped them all out for 2 TB drives, so now I have 4 2 TB drives.  yet the LCD screen and menus when I log in via the GUI say I only have 4 TB of space total (which makes sense for 4 1.5 drives but not for 4 2 TB drives). Do I need to do a full Resync Volume or another step?

    Try a reboot.

     

    What firmware are you running?

      took 2 reboots, after the first one I got a message saying it was ready for volume expansion and to reboot again.  2nd reboot, and a few minutes later, all seems to be working.  thanks!
