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). ...
I see no reason to upgrade the NAS right now, I think you should sort the expansion issue first.
If it started at 2 TB it would be capped at 10 TB (which would be about 9300 TB in the power-of-two units the NAS uses). The only way to overcome that limit would be to rebuild the NAS and restore the data from backup.
Was the NAS configured for dual-redundancy? If not the initial 7304 volume size was too small.
If you haven't filed an on-line support request, I suggest you do so (if you have a support contract in place, start with phone support instead).
