ReadyOS 6 Issue with Large Volumes (missing space)
Hi
This is a follow on from - https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Adding-a-4th-10TB-drive-to-a-XRAID-array-on-Pro6-6-9-3-please/td-p/1612781
I've placed the 4x10TB and 2x6TB ...

I've rebooted it it and nothing changed (although I accept it might not as it's in the middle of a rebuild).
Just leave it until the resync completes. It won't start on the second RAID group until it's done with the first one.

It looks to me like the resync isn't finished - is that correct?

Correct. I've only just reset.
I've rebooted it it and nothing changed (although I accept it might not as it's in the middle of a rebuild).
I checked with the XRAID calculator and it should be 38TB.
I'm just mindful of the issue I had with the Pro6 when the 4th drive didn't expand properly and mdgm kindly did it manually but it lost XRAID and therefore the ability to seamlessly expand in the future... I was hoping a factory reset would have found all 38TB initially.
I've used mdadm -G before to expand a volume but in this case there isn't a md126 to expand.... and I would have thought there should be...
Thanks
Andy

My bad... I was expecting it to allocate both at once. Thank you.
Kind regards,
Andy
