ReadyNAS Ultra 6 (RNDU6000) Vertical expansion, when do I get the extra space

Hi all,

 

I have just added a 6th disk to my RNDU6000.
It's running OS6 v6.10.10 and is configured in X-RAID - RAID5


Currently, it's performing a resync (~72hrs total), and I was wondering when I can expect to see the extra space, as right now, nothing has changed.

Once the resync has completed, will I see the extra space then?

Thanks all for your expertise 🙂

Patrick.

     Thanks, I had 5x 8TB and added a final 8TB.

    Exactly when the space shows up depends on the expansion history, but you should end up with ~36 TiB (40 TB) when the resync completes.

    It should.  What size disk did you add, and what sizes were already in the NAS?
