How to force expansion in RAID-X after disk addition?
I have an RN31400 using X-RAID and the latest firmware (6.9.1). I had 4 disks, 8T8, 8Tb, 6Tb & 6Tb. I replaced the third disk with an 8Tb one, meaning I now have 8Tb, 8TB, 8Tb & 6Tb. All are WD disks on the compatibility list and are recognized fine. Using the RAID-X calculator I should have more than the 14Tb of available space, shouldn't I? It didn't increase when I swapped the 3rd disk out. It is set to RAID-X and reports RAID-5. No snapshots. Apart from factory reseting it, is there a way to force expansion? I've rebooted it, balanced it and rebooted again several times to no avail.2.4KViews0likes12Comments
