ReadyNas 104 not expanding after drive install

I have a ReadyNAS 104 with 3 x 3TB drives installed in X-Raid and it shows raid 5 with 6 TB storage which is fine. I added a 4th 3 TB drive (same model as the first 3). The ReadyNAS 104 made the drive available but is not expanding the volume to 9TB. I have attached a picture of the volume status and as you can see all is online.  I have since rebooted 4 times and still not expansion. Can someone help me please. Thanks

    Hi buddyrjm,

     

    Could you send us a complete copy of your device logs? Instructions are available here.

     

     

    Kind regards,

        Thanks for the logs. I have removed the email address from your post.

        The logs show that a resync is taking place. At the time you downloaded the logs it estimated there were 6429.1 minutes to go. Once the resync completes the volume should then expand.

        Once your volume has expanded you may then wish to run a balance.
