I guess the question is why am I limited to only 39TB?

Yes, the raid is SHR. Currently the storage pool is about 98% full. Will that affect the data if I were to remove hard drive(s) from the storage manager such as the 2TB drive?

My current configuration is as follow: Drive 1 = 4TB Drive 2 = 10TB Drive 3 = 5TB Drive 4 = 4TB Drive 5 = 2TB Drive 6 = 4TB Drive 7 = 4TB Drive 8 = 4TB Drive 9 = 5TB Drive 10 = 2TB Drive 11 = 4TB Drive 12 = 4TB

Hi All, I recently installed Xpenology using Jun's 1.03b loader with DSM 6.2.2-24922 in a Dell Poweredge R720xd with 12 hard drives which is approximately 40-43 TB of usable space. The controller in the server is a Dell H310 mini mono that has been converted to IT mode. I installed DSM into this server and things were working well until I removed a 5TB hard drive and added a 10TB hard drive. I can't expand the storage pool and when I go into Volume/Configure, I see that I have a Max. allocatable size (GB): 39072. Do I need to modify DSM 6.2 in order to further expand storage space or is this the limit? Thanks.

Is there a guide to install xpenology in a poweredge server using esxi? How do you tell esxi to do the hard drive pass through?

Basically you would follow this procedure found in the link below. All I had to do was download the XPEnoboot, made a bootable usb drive, insert into the last USB port in the back of the unit, download and install synology assistant, have a new drive in the EX495, turn on the unit and wait 10 to 20 seconds and use synology assistant to scan over the network. Once it's scanned, it'll download the firmware and install it into the unit. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5026

I know this thread is old but I seem to be having an issue. Are you able to reboot your media smart server running DSM 5? I had DSM 5 installed in my media smart server using 4 - 2TB drives. Then I swapped Disk 1 out with a 4TB hard drive and was successfully repaired. After it was done and I turned it off to swap out Disk 2 for another 2tb hard drive but this time it didn't boot up. The only way it'll boot up now is if I pull Disk 1 out and reinsert it after the network light goes out and the health light starts blinking blue and red. Any idea what could be happening?

I was wondering if anyone with an EX495 has run into this issue. I had installed the latest synology software in my HP media smart EX495 with 4 - 2TB hard drives in SHR configuration and everything worked fine. Then I upgraded Disk 1 to a 4TB hard drive. This went without issue and it finished repairing the raid array. After it was done the next day, I went ahead and removed Disk 2. I shut down the NAS and I inserted another 4TB hard drive of the same manufacturer. Then after turning it back on, it just sits there with a blue blinking health light where as before it used to blink blue and red when it was working. I removed all the hard drives and tested just booting another spare drive and it started right up. I was able to detect the NAS using synology assistant. Then it wanted to install the DSM software and I stopped at this point. I reinserted all the drives in the correct order and tried to boot up but it gets stalled again. I also tried to remove all these drives and do a file recovery in linux but unfortunately it was unable to find the raid array. I'm hoping anyone can help me with this and recover my files? Edit: Is it possible to also move these disks to a new machine? Can I take an unused PC and boot up from a USB key like I've been doing with the media smart?
