What version of RAIDiator are you running?
Please try a reboot, wait 5-10 minutes and if expansion hasn't started, try another reboot. Expansion should then take place.
You should not see that message on a 4-bay NAS as dual-redundancy is not an option.

{Next added drive: Will be used to expand volume
Will be used to add dual redundancy } Note text in brackets copied accross BUT IS NOT APPEARING ON RAIDIATOR SCREEN!!! These blind messages probably explains why the volume has not expanded - BUT since these text messages and probably option boxes are not on screen - how do I FIX?
