Replace Drives

New larger disks coming up short!
I have a ReadyNAS NV+ V2 [X-RAID], 256MB, which was running 4 X 320G HDD, reported at 294G each. It was chugging away for about 8 months: I got hold of 4 x 1T WD green drives for an upgrade. Believe it or not, I read the manual. It said, hotplug one drive at a time and the magic will happen. I checked a few forums and sure enough, lots of folks are saying hotplug replace one drive at a time, and the magic will happen. I hotplug replaced one drive with one of the WD 1Ts. The magice started. A day or so later finally there was a message the the new drive had been re synchronized, resynchronized and now the array was full redundant. Total capacity remained at 294G per drive, although the WD was shown at 931G. I understand that. I repeated the exercise for the other drives, one at a time, and today I got the end of the process. Not bad, only four days.... Unfortunately, the array did not resize: RAID Disks: Ch 1 : WDC WD10EADS-00L5B1 [931 GB] 294 GB allocated Ch 2 : WDC WD10EAVS-00D7B1 [931 GB] 294 GB allocated Ch 3 : WDC WD10EAVS-32D7B1 [931 GB] 294 GB allocated Ch 4 : WDC WD10EAVS-00D7B1 [931 GB] 294 GB allocated What have I missed?Solved3.2KViews0likes7Comments
