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...
OS 6 is currently out of question, becuase it voids guarantee and secondly because of that "loud fan case" that I found out. The second one is even more important since the unit is located in my television/living room at the moment... :)
I will try with Flex-RAID maybe.
OK, I understand now the process with failed expansion, but I think it's strange, since it should be possible to expand just on those four 4TB disks (becuase they make pairs) with 3TB disks not used. It actually would possible in config of 4x3TB + 2x2TB. It also went well when I was just adding 3 x 4TB disks reoplacing older 3 x 2 TB disks. So the conclusion is, that X-RAID2 stops working effectively with volumes over 16 TB and there is no good solution for my case with X-RAID2?
