ReadyOS 6 Issue with Large Volumes (missing space)

Hi

This is a follow on from - https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Adding-a-4th-10TB-drive-to-a-XRAID-array-on-Pro6-6-9-3-please/td-p/1612781

 

I've placed the 4x10TB and 2x6TB drives in the 516 and factory reset.

It is only showing a 27TB volume.

It doesn't seem to have created the second array across the 4 10TB drives.

 

I thought the whole point of XRAID was it was supposed to pick this up automatically.

Will it find it on a reboot?? should I factory reset again?? do it manually??

 

Thanks

Andy

    I've rebooted it it and nothing changed (although I accept it might not as it's in the middle of a rebuild).

     


    Just leave it until the resync completes.  It won't start on the second RAID group until it's done with the first one.

    It looks to me like the resync isn't finished - is that correct?

      Correct. I've only just reset.

      I've rebooted it it and nothing changed (although I accept it might not as it's in the middle of a rebuild).

      I checked with the XRAID calculator and it should be 38TB.

      I'm just mindful of the issue I had with the Pro6 when the 4th drive didn't expand properly and mdgm kindly did it manually but it lost XRAID and therefore the ability to seamlessly expand in the future... I was hoping a factory reset would have found all 38TB initially.

      I've used mdadm -G before to expand a volume but in this case there isn't a md126 to expand.... and I would have thought there should be...

      Thanks
