Volume expansion failed
ReadyNAS 4200 v1
Firmware 4.2.25
Configuration: X-RAID2
Existing 12 1 TB WD enterprise hard drives (on the compatibility list)
Drives were replaced one at a time, allowing for full rescync to complete between each one.
Currently 12 2 TB WD enterprise hard drives (on the compatiblity list)
After each new drive finished syncing, I recieved the expect message "Found space that can be used to expand capacity, expansion process will start during next boot." Saturday morning I rebooted and received this: "Continuing with volume expansion or migration. Do not interrupt the system during this time. When complete, email notification will be sent to the alert contact list." That was immediantly followed by this: "Volume expansion failed." I rebooted 2 more times, one time even running a volume chech, and same messages.
There are 11 shares of which 10 are normal shares and one is configured as a virtual drive on 2 ESXi hosts.
Any one have any recommendations or ideas of what I need to do to get it to expand to the new free space? Without doing a factory reset!
