Raid expansion fail after HDD swap to 4x4TB in RAID5
Posted: Sat Sep 07, 2019 4:06 pm
TS-439 Pro II+, firmware 4.2.6, RAID5.
I have swapped HDDs from 4x1TB to 4x4TB (WD Red WD40EFRX 4 TB). Diskswap was successful after Rebuilding complete at all 4 disks. All data still accessible.
Then I have tried numerous times to expand RAID capacity according to intructions but it repeats failing after 11 minutes: RAID SIZE EXPANSION FAILED. Steps I took: Storage manager ->RAID management -> select disk volume -> action -> expand capacity -> ok
QNAP helpdesk triggered the expansion twice via remote login and failed as well.
I just found out that WD Red WD40EFRX 4 TB is not mentioned as supported HDD in firmware 4.2.6
I checked over 20 tickets in this forum and followed all instructions without success.
please help, what do I need to do for a succesful RAID expansion?
Thanks
