My understanding is that if your newly installed disk would expand over 16 TiB that the scripts simply won't expand. And off-line expansion won't work reliably, since the tools on the NAS are not 64-bit safe.
Here's a link to a post describing the process: https://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopi ... 12#p353102
Note the warning from Beisser and Chirpa not to use that method to expand over the 16 TiB boundary.
That is your current volume size, and how many 2 TB drives did you install before setting the error? Are you running dual-redundancy?
