Upgrading my ReadyNas Pro from 4.2 to OS6
I have my ReadyNas Pro 6 configured as [X-RAID2] with 3TB, 3TB, 1TB, 2TB, 3TB, 3TB disks
This gives a total disk space of 8322GB
Could someone answer the following for me please...
1. When I upgrade to OS6 but keep my existing disks, what will my total disk space be?
2. If I upgrade all my disks to 3TB, what would the total disk space be?
3. If I upgraded to OS6 and kept my existing disks but then later upgraded
the 2 smaller disks to 3TB, will I achieve the maximum disk space as in 2 above.
Thanks

1. When I upgrade to OS6 but keep my existing disks, what will my total disk space be?
=> Update to OS6, need to do factory default because OS4 use EXT4, OS6 use btrfs filesystes, total disk space won't be changed.
2. If I upgrade all my disks to 3TB, what would the total disk space be?
=> 6 disk on X-RAID2, it is RAID 5, total volume space = 15TB (6disks - a disk)
3. If I upgraded to OS6 and kept my existing disks but then later upgraded
the 2 smaller disks to 3TB, will I achieve the maximum disk space as in 2 above.
=> Yes, it will automatically extended to maximum.
Please note you must replace small disk one by one,
replace a small disk to 3TB, it will sync, please wait for sync finish, then replace another small disk.
make sure your pro 6 has latest bios.
os6 wont run on old bios
