X-RAID Expansion on RN516, do I need to wait for the resync?
I'm upgrading my disks from 3TB to 12TB. I'm up to my third disk and so far so good, but it's taken four days to get this far. When I pop out a disk the array is Degraded. Then it performs a resync. After this is complete the array is redundant (all green lights on the disks under Volumes), and a second sync process is triggered. It's this final step that takes the longest (60 hours is the current estimate for the 3rd disk). Can I start the 4th disk before this sync is complete, or should I wait?
It would be better to wait for it to complete, inserting it while it is syncing can interrupt the expansion. Adding the the 4th drive might be fine but no re-sync will happen until the current sync is in progress.
