X-Raid Verticle Expansion Incomplete

Hello,

 

I have recently attempted a Verticle Expansion of our array from X-Raid (6) 12X3TB by

replacing with 4X6TB drives.  I replaced one drive at a time allowing amply time to resync, verifying online in the logs for each.  On the 4th drive, upon completion, I had expected the volume to expand;

however, the following resulted

 

"Remove inactive volumes to use the disk"

 

Several reboots later and firmware update i am not much farther ahead.

Is this normal and what have others done in the community to deal with this?

  Firmware 6.9.3

 

Regards,

Dave

 

  • Hello,

    I ended up opening a support case with NetGear:

    Hi there,

    The array was suppose to be expanded automatic, but for some reason it didn't take place so engg expanded it manually.

    Let me know if you have any other concerns.

    Thank you for the logs though.
