ReadyNAS Pro 6 Disk space not increasing after expansion
Had 6 x 2TB drives installed. Removed one, replaced with a 3TB, rebuilt. Removed another 2TB, replaced with a 3TB and rebuilt. No change. Replaced and rebuilt one more time (now 3 x 2TB, 3 x 3TB). ...
StephenB wrote: There is an 8 TB expansion limit (meaning that the volume cannot be expanded more than 8 TB from the the starting point). Do you recall how many disks were in place when you installed (or at the last factory default).
The device predates my employment. however it is currently below 8TB total space (specifically 7304 GB) so it is unlikely that it is affected by that limit. That being said, estimating from the logs it looks like it started out at 2TB
Also, what firmware is running on the Pro?
RAIDiator 4.2.21. I've seen that there is an update, but I'm rarely here during downtime, and don't know how long an update will bring the unit down for.
