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...
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.

Normal guidance is to maintain at least 15% free space. Netgear starts generating warning alerts when free space drops below 30%.
I now have freed up some space. How do I proceed to expand the volume?
Hi dfrederiksen,
Have you tried doing a reboot after freeing up some space?
Regards,
Yes. Unfortunately it had no effect and there is no change.
Hi dfrederiksen,
It could be that the data-1 volume needs to be removed, but you will need to backup your data first and then we will need to check if it is being used by the data volume or not. If it is shows as already used by the data volume then destroying data-1 could take down the entire data volume.
