Replaced failing disk in NV+ v2 - both volume expansion and volume scan fail
Hi folks, I'm getting some slightly peculiar behaviour from my NV+ v2, and would really appreciate some help in troubleshooting. A week or so ago, I started getting errors on disk 1 of my NAS...
I start with
1GB
2GB

Please help me with setup volume.

2GBI think you mean TB. With 2x2TB+2x1TB, the system first creates a 3 TB volume, and then immediately expands it to 4 TB. It's not completely clear if the 8 TiB growth limit starts from 3 TB or 4 TB in your case. But either way, you haven't reached the 8 TiB threshold yet (assuming you are correct on the starting point). With 2x3TB+2x4TB you should be at 10 TB, which is only 6 (or 7) TB of growth.
So either something else is wrong, or you didn't have all four disks in place when you did the factory install.
FWIW, what you are attempting has some risk, and you could lose your data.

and still waiting...
I do not know if I can reboot, there is no prompt :/
And in dashboard I have now: 6.5TB from 9TB
