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 ...
I can't find it in the frontview, but I guess the volume is protected - all lights are green everywhere (I have single redundancy).
I think while making a factory default I can even start the volume with 4 discs and have 2 spare discs for backing up more data (the most crucial data is already protected with two copies in different places, of course :D ). Do you think that would be a smart idea? By adding 2 discs to the initial volume of 4 discs I shouldn't hit the limit of 8 TB anyway. I'm planning to stay on single redundancy.
Thanks for the advice!
