Seems I'm thwarted by this *(&^*#&^T%$ box every time I try to do something...
I've got a Pro 6 NAS that I bought with 6x1TB drives. I wanted to upgrade the capacity by installing 6x3TB drives. A call to tech support suggested the best way was to do a "factory reset", so of course, this is what I did/tried to do as follows:
1. From Frontview, I selected the "Factory Default" button. When the process started, I was prompted to make some inputs to configure the unit.
2. Before making the entries, and restarting, I removed and replaced all 6 1TB drives with WD Red 3 TB drives.
3. In Frontview, I selected the X-RAID2 option with tolerance for 2 disk failures, and hit the go button
4. The process began, but as I view the Frontview volume settings, it seems I will wind up with only a fraction of the available capacity because only 927 GB on each disk is "allocated" (see screenshot)
What is going on here?? Why am I not getting the entire 2,794 GB from each drive allocated?
I executed a second "factory reset" from Frontview, and the problem fixed itself; I see (almost) all of the 2,794 GB capacity in the allocation column. It's now syncing itself, and expects to be complete in a little over 12 hours.
