pro 6 fails to expand volume
Hi, I'm running a ReadyNAS Pro 6 , firmware vsn 4.2.22 I purchased an empty chassis and over the last few months have expanded the X-Raid2 volume by adding new disks 1 at a time. I'm using Samsung ...
There is a limit on volume growth of 8 TiB from your starting point. Since you started with a single disk, that would be 2.7 TiB (3 TB). So you can't expand above 10.7 TIB.
The cleanest "solution" is to back up your data and configuration, do a factory default, and then restore everything.
There are also some instructions on the forum on doing an "off line" expansion viewtopic.php?f=66&t=62916&p=353102#p353102 This will overcome the growth limit, although as Chirpa notes in the thread you can't use this procedure to expand over 16 TiB.
