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.
Have done:
mdadm --grow /dev/md/1 --level=raid5
mdadm --grow /dev/md/1 --raid-devices=4
rebooted
but have

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 :)
Skipping X-RAID auto-expansion on encrypted pool data
So then.. cool feature.. personally I think its a cool implementation of it. Would perhaps be great for some situation, that there is a mini webservice to submit the key in the boot process without a key. Unfortunately this situation I couldn't thest via the VM, because I didn't now how to propagate the USB Stick.
Perhaps some time the possibility will come use XRAID with uneven disks and encryption. Or enabling/disabling encryption after creation of the volume..
*hoping*
Thanks to all of you, made the OS6 possible on legacy devices.
I'll have to think to destroy the volume, or buy new Harddisks.. :S - bad situation, if you got enough place with the cool XRAID :)

If you wish to suggest a new feature, you should post it in the "Idea" section. That way people can vote for it if they want to.
