ReadyNAS (OS 6) not expanding storage

[paalfe]

ReadyNAS 102.

Running ReadyNAS OS 6.6.1.

Using X-RAID (RAID 1).

Had 2x 1TB hard drives.

Swapped hard drive 1 with a 4TB hard drive.

Waited for resync to finnish.

Swapped hard drive 2 with a 4TB hard drive.

Waited for resync to finnish.

Storage have NOT expanded automatically.

Have done several reboots, waited 10 minutes and hours between reboots.

NAS do see the 2x 4TB hard drives, but nothing happens to the volume.

NAS storage status is Healthy.

Can the X-RAID expansion be initialized from the console via SSH or any other way?

Or is the only solution to DESTROY and re-initialize the X-RAID?

It looks like the RAID array was indeed extended but the BTRFS volume didn't expand.

It also seems you've done quite a few things from the backend, including cancelling a BTRFS balance.

Something wrong happened during the expansion anyway. Did you ever restore a config on this NAS (particularly a config file taken from a system with a different data volume name)?

Do you want to try resize it manually? Something like that show work (it's the command that failed at the time, so just to retry it):

Disclaimer: I have not tried it on a ReadyNAS (I tested it on a generic Linux machine), you should make a full backup beforehand, I'm not responsible for anything bad that can happen, use it at your own risks.

Otherwise, you can try contact NETGEAR Support, or full backup + factory default + restore, or wait to see if someone else has other suggestions.

I hope this helps anyway 😉

Have you checked the smart stats for your disks?

What does mdstat.log look like?

[paalfe]

logs is found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7lT5q7hw78DWlRDeFBZZ3hTLW8

[mdgm-ntgr]

Can you send the entire logs zip file in (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

[paalfe]

Entire logs zip file are sent in 🙂

- Balancing was stuck at 1% for many days, thats why I canceled it. Balancing is run on a schedule.

- I have not restored a config on this NAS.

I ran the btrfs filesystem resize command and it expanded immediately 🙂

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate your help in resolving this problem 🙂
