ReadyNAS 102 HDD swap resize
In the process of upgrading the drives in my RN102. Originally had 2 x 2Tb drives installed. Hotswapped the drive in bay 2 (the right bay) with a 4Tb drive and allowed the resync process to complete....

Question I have...at the end of this will I realize the full 4Tb of disk space that I should have as a result of swapping the drives?
Yes.
You'll find that there are two resync steps this time around. The first will resync the existing 2x2TB RAID group. When that completes, the system will create a new 2x2TB RAID group and concatenate it with the existing RAID group. That new RAID group will also need to be synced. At that point the size will rapidly increase.
