Thanks for the move, i shouldn't have opened a new topic. I managed to fix this on my own. For some reason, the automatic resize failed due to some problems with segments. A manual pvresize to max-size managed to complete the operation, after which an lvresize (-L+xxxG) and a resize2fs were basically painless as well. So i am all set, although i fear that i'll have to go through this with every upgrade from now on. I need to dig up 8TB for backup space somewhere and do a factory reset at some point. Or spend 1K on a 316, which i've been eyeing from some time now. Nice kit, expensive through. Thanks for the support i got, btw, and for keeping the treasure trove that is the old posts from the previous forum around. majello

You could get the 316 and new drives, then reset the ultra-4 and use it for backup. More money of course, but probably better than going with 8 TB of USB drives.
