ReadyNAS Volume not expanding - with encryption
Don't not the exact Pro 6 Model.. I've got a Pro6 with 2x 2TB and 2x 3TB All worked fine except the XRAID2 isn't working.. at least not how expected. I've installed ReadyNAS OS6 with factor...
md1 is the swap volume, so no need to touch that.
If the volume is encrypted, X-RAID won't be able to create sub RAID arrays on unused disk capacity in case of mixed capacity HDDs. It's just not compatible.
This is why the logs say "
Skipping X-RAID auto-expansion on encrypted pool data
Your solutions: use disks of the same capacity, or create separate encrypted volumes, or don't use volume encryption.
puh.. it seems like theres something over from the raid6 test :S

Skipping X-RAID auto-expansion on encrypted pool data
in LOG
seems perhaps expanding doesn't work.. at least for uneven devices.
But this seems like it should work:

ok that seems a statement:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/X-RAID-expansion-on-Pro4-with-OS6/td-p/904490
are there any newer knowings?

thank you for that.. good to know.
yep.. the swap I only touched because I thougt if something is checking raid level of different raids.. and only if all ar good and in same way configured then the expansion starts.. thats why I tried to make them similiar.
The statement, I've seen later :)
