It sounds like XRAID isn't enabled. In order to get your NAS at RAID6, you likely disabled XRAID. Did you re-enable it? Since the NAS is not recognizing your volume as being "expanded", you should still be able to do so.
If it is enabled, then there are some commands you can issue via SSH that may kick-start the process. But you should not try them until you've verified XRAID is on. Once a second layer is created and you have an "expanded" volume, you'll no longer be able to turn on XRAID. So I can give you those commands once you've verified XRAID is enabled.

It's easy to do - if you see a green stripe on the XRAID control on the volumes page, then it is enabled.
