Added new drive to RAID 5, TOS not reporting size correctly

Post by leep »

I had four 8 TB drives in my F5-221 in a RAID 5 with about 15 out of 22 TB used. I added a 5th 8 TB drive and went through the Control Panel / Storage Pool (I believe) to add the new drive. It took about 48 hours to finish adding it.

Now if I go to Control Panel / Volume it says "14.85 TB out of 21.82 TB" which is what it was before adding the drive), but if I got to Control Panel / Storage Pool it says "21.82 TB out of 29.1 TB. In Windows where I have a drive mapped to the NAS, File Explorer reports it as 6.96TB free out of 21.8TB.

It SHOULD be 14.85 TB used out of 29.1 TB. Did I do something wrong? How can It get it to correctly report the additional 8 TB I've added? I've already restarted the NAS and that had no effect.

Thank you! It was that simple. Did I just miss that last step in the documentation? All I had to do was go to Control Panel / Volume, select the volume and click the [Edit] button, then click the [Max] button next to the "Volume capacity (GB)" field to increase that to the total capacity of the drive. Now everything (including Window's File explorer) reports the correct amount of total/used/free space.
