Volume expansion fails even after factory default
Hi, I've got a problem with Readynas Pro Business Edition. I've got 3 x 4TB + 3 x 3TB. Changed 4th 3TB to 4TB and expansion failed. It's OK since I probably passed the 8TB limit. I've made a fresh ba...
You would need e.g. 6x4 TB disks in place at the factory default for a volume >16TB, even then you wouldn't be able to expand the volume further. So you might want to use Flex-RAID so you can have multiple volumes.
Or if you are willing you could update to ReadyNAS OS 6, update to 6.1.7-RC5 and do a factory default. ReadyNAS OS 6 doesn't have the 8TB or the 16TB limit.
Personally I would recommend using dual-redundancy not single-redundancy, especially when using high capacity disks.
