Thanks for the logs.
Your data volume is pretty much 100% full.This is not good.
We recommend keeping volume usage around the 80-85% mark.Do you have a backup? You should backup your data if you have not already as the next step.
It looks like your new disk has been added to the data volume array, but not to the OS or swap arrays. Expansion has not occurred.
You could try rebooting the NAS via RAIDar and see what happens.

I didn't of checking RAIDar before.
RAIDar shows 2 working drives and 1 with a syncing symbol.
I tried pasting a image of the raidar view in this message.
I hope it shows up.

If you hover your mouse over the syncing drive, it should provide some completion status info.

i tried doing that.
But it just shows CHANNEL 3 followed by the drive name/type and temperature.
Basicly the same info as the 2 allready installed drives.
No info on the completion status.
If it helps i can download the logs.
