Thanks fo the tip, but it wasn't turned on to start with.

That's in System > Power, right?

Or is there another option?

Also, here are the performance options that I have:

Disable full data journaling. = ON

Disable journaling. = OFF

Enable fast CIFS writes. = ON

Enable fast USB disk writes. = OFF

Power options:

Enable disk spin-down = OFF

Hello uxphil,

Does the FrontView > Volumes have Volume Maintenance option? Sorry I'm not that sure if Duo v1 has this option, the Intel-based ones have.

If none, since you have backup of the data, maybe you can try resetting to factory?

    Those settings look fine. Not sure why the expansion didn't take place. I agree with JennC that since you have a backup, resetting the NAS to factory defaults then restoring from backup could be a good way to go.
    
    An advantage of this also is that if you last did a factory default on firmware older than 4.1.7 you wouldn't currently have 4k sector partition alignment. Whereas if you do a factory default on 4.1.7 or later you will get that.
