Cannot a create a volume

[DRUMDUSESAN]

Hi,
I am a newbie to QNAP. We just purchased the 1263U-RP
I cannot a create a volume. I created the Storage Pool. When I try to create the volume it states there is "The pool free space is not enough"
I see this in the Dashboard. Does this have to complete before I can create the volume?
Background Tasks
RAID Group Synchronizing
RAID Group 1 14%

My goal is to create NFS storage for to present to VMware for a backup target.

Thanks
Jeff

Yes, If you RAID group is still syncing you can't create a thick volume. I think thin you might not have to wait.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Any idea how long this will take? Am I really looking at this long to setup a RAID 5 with 4x4TB disks?

Overnight will do it.

Thanks again.

Hi,
The sync' is finished but I cannot create a volume; "The pool free space is not enough"
So I tried a LUN; "Insufficient free space".

This has to be something basic via the initial wizard setup.

Any ideas folks?
Thanks

I see the problem from command line
I opened a ticket with QNAP as it looks like the partition table is scrambled.
