ReadyNAS NV+ limit at 2TB?
I had an old ReadyNAS NV+ from several years ago that crapped out and decided to get a brand new NV+ to replace it a few weeks ago. I swapped the disks out of the old box and into the new one, and ...
block size is 4096 which means you last factory defaulted using RAIDiator 3.x. With RAIDiator 4.x the block size for newly created volumes has been changed. Volumes created using RAIDiator 3.x cannot be expanded past 5TB.
You can either contact tech support to manually expand your volume to 5TB or:
1. Backup all data
2. Verify backup is good
3. Update to latest RAIDiator
4. Factory default
5. Restore Config Backup
6. Restore data from backup
Volume then would be ~ 5.4TB
Regarding your NAS that died, do you still have it? If so, does the serial number of the dead unit fall in the range for the Service Action?:

If your serial number is in the range, depending what region you are in NetGear may replace the PSU even if your ReadyNAS is out of warranty!

A small percentage of ReadyNAS NV (revision B) and NV+ owners with low-noise fanless power supply unit (PSU) may encounter a premature failure of the PSU due to elevated temperature. The ReadyNAS systems affected have Serial numbers between 000DA2010FFE and 000DA2016000. If you are unsure if your serial number falls within the hexadecimal range, you can use a hex calculator. (Click hex and overwrite the '0' with your serial number and click dec. If the number falls in the range of 58552553470 and 58552573952, then you should proceed with this service action.) Owners of ReadyNAS NV revision A who have replaced their original fan with the newer fanless PSU could be affected as well.
