ReadyNAS 312 Vertical Expansion - First Time

Just manually triggered the RAID array to expand to use the additional space on the disks. Once this is complete the volume should then expand.

A resync is now taking place. The volume should then expand.

My problem wasn't patience waiting, it was that it wasn't doing anything. No resync, no expansion in progress, no nothing :) Fortunately, mdgm-ntgr is a lifesaver :)- aalexandrebetaFeb 07, 2017Master
