We had a RAID 5 storage pool with 3x3TB drives. We added a 10TB drive and chose to add it to the existing RAID.

After several hours synchronising the storage pool has increased in size and is now showing 2.73TB free. However the volume has not increased and I have no way of increasing it. If I choose to edit the volume it shows that there is 8373.76 GB capacity but the volume capacity is still 5582.5. I have no way to edit this is this value is greyed out. The overview of storage on the main page still shows the volume as having 1.1TB free How do I expand the volume to take up the new space on the storage pool? Or is it expanded but showing the wrong data in certain places?

I fixed this myself by looking in to SSH as root in Powershell and then I ran this command:
lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/vg1/lv1
Size of logical volume vg1/lv1 changed from 5.45 TiB (1429121 extents) to 8.18 TiB (2143683 extents).
Logical volume vg1/lv1 successfully resized.

I restarted the NAS. But then it restarted itself and now the volume is showing as 8.18TB

Thanks for the reporting and shareing.
