problems expanding raid5 F5-421

Post by fazz »

F5-421
I had a 3 x14 TB drive raid 5, with a volume 25.36 TB avalable (Volume #1).
I added a 4th 14 TB hard drive to the volume, expecting an increase in capacity.
After the resync process, "volume" in storage manager says 220 KB / 25.36 TB.
Storage Pool says Storage pool is good (raid 5) 25.46 TB / 38.19 TB.
All 4 hard drives good.
Capacity 38.19 TB
Used Space 25.46 TB
Free Space 12.73 TB
See attached pics

I am confused. There should be 38 TB avalable. I only have 25.46 TB. With 12.73 TB of free space.
Im I missing something? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Please ignore my previous post. I did not realise the volume can be edited and free space utilized by the volume. All ok now.
This is my first nas and I am learning.
