Replaces 2TB with 3TB but only sees 2TB

Hi,

I have a ReadyNAS Duo v2 running v5.3.7. My configuration was Flex-RAID in JBOD, where I had separate c and d volumes. Both drives were 2 TB. I use a second NAS to do the backup through Rsync once a day. Last week, the second hard drive failed. I replaced it with a 3TB one. The problem is the NAS recreated the d volume but only 2TB in size. There is 1TB wasted. How do I do it to have the second volume use the full 3TB?

Here is the last lines of user.log

  • It didn't work. After the reboot, I got a failed to create volume message. Will have to try something else.

    The old web-admin interface is included in every 5.3.x release. You shouldn't use it though.
