RN104 Expansion

Hi Marc

Thanks for the reply, so after disks 1 and 2 were replaced, one by one, and allowed to resync, I replaced disk 3, but the resync didn’t start, I removed disk 3, placed it into a windows PC and looked at the volume in disk manager.  It had created a 500gb partition another smaller partition and had some unpartitioned space.  I deleted all volumes, had just 1 unpartitioned volume of 1tb and then placed back into the NAS in bay 3.

The same occurred with the resync not starting.  I placed the 500gb disk back in and the sync started and completed.  I tried with the 1tb drive again, in bay 3, the same occurred, the resync didn’t start.

To get the nas healthy I placed the 500gb drive back in and all was ok.

I then the same disk in bay 4, same problem, so tried a different disk in bay 4, same happened, removed the drive deleted partitions in windows placed in bay 4 again, still no sync started.

I then tried using the format button on the volume screen with just the 1TB disk, thinking perhaps it would help get it to start rebuilding but no.

Currently the NAS has from bays 1-4 1TB, 1TB 500GB 1TB, the first three disks appear blue implying they are a part of the raid 5, the fourth is black/grey.

Logs are attached.

I can reset the nas with 4*1tb disks, but if possible would like to avoid that, its purpose is a veeam repository, so not easy to back up the data on it, but equally not critical data, so can be wiped if needs be.

My logs are a zip which the forum wont take, how can i DM you a link?

Thanks

James
