ReadyNas 204 (3x3TB) drives with new firmware 6.4.2 gives "Remove inactive Volumes"
Did a disk by disk upgrade of a 3x2TB ReadyNas 204. Disk3, Disk2...
Before the last disk was upgraded; system was All green, did a firmware upgrade to 6.4.2
I then after reboot swapped out Drive 1 to a 3TB disk. The resynch started and...
Upgrade completed VERY quickly... (less than 1 day, unlike previous which took 1 week approx).
Upon inspection; I have Data and Data1 sets where Data is a Raid5 configuration (what I started with), and Data-1 is a Raid0 configuration with a prompt to "Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #2,3.
I've not seen THAT before.
Firmware bug, or a documentation addendum / update? The previous two disk replacements (going from 2TB to 3TB) worked fine.

Hi Aedmunde,
Welcome to community!
May I ask how exactly you replaced the disks? I mean the steps you took.
Please also post a screenshot of what you see under Volumes in the admin page.
Regards,
- No problem. (whups -- first try went via email, N.G.)...1. Installed (3) 2TB drives, added folders and transferred about 3 TB of data.2. A drive failed (SMART) and I replaced it. Discovered it wasn't exactly transparent to do this task; instructions not step-by-step. Instructions just say "replace" and let sync.3. Now that system is back to "Green - Ready" and no errors; decided to replace entire set with (3) 3TB disks because they are all same speed and model (hopefully better).4. Replaced Drive #3, waited for resync. (Didn't happen)5. powercycled unit using menu button; resync started and took several days.6. Repeat 4,5 for Disk #2.7. Repeat 4,5 for Disk #1error as shown above..8*. -- now transferring 3GB+ to "storageSpaces" in W2K12R2E, but that's likely to not work... (but backup better than nothing).suggestions?
