Planning Ahead for Capacity Upgrade
Well, the ol' 4TB based volume in my 516 is down below 3TB free space. FWIW, this somehow got created as a RAID-5 under X-RAID2, but with 4TB disks it wasn't so bad. After some thought and looking at...
The volume will only expand when redundant space can be added. So if you have one 12TB disk after the RAID-6 volume is rebuilt you will still have dual-redundancy.
After you've created the RAID-6 volume you can re-enable X-RAID.
In fact depending what disks are installed, with a RAID-5 volume with three or more disks you could disable X-RAID and designate it so that when the next empty slot is filled it is used to add parity (i.e. convert to RAID-6). This conversion does take a long time though.

Replaced by ticket 27750891, since I goofed and entered the wrong email in the first one. Fun.
This appears to be a minor issue that in some rare cases may be run into when migrating disks from one chassis to another.
Edit: Your system looks fixed now.
Yes, it seems so. :) A bit of a scare! Hadn't see this sort of thing, as I've never moved disks between boxes before. Appreciate your help!
