Sandstorm

Just to follow up...I followed the guide and ran into only one problem along that way. Specifically where the guide says: "Run a file system check. This may take some time": sudo fsck.ext4 -fvp /dev/vg1000/lv I had to use sudo fsck.ext4 -fvp /dev/vg1/volume_1 I am guessing everyone's disk groups and volumes will be named differently but I didn't see in the guide how to verify the names of these. Just wanted to say thank you for helping me get all the disk's recognized!

Just wanted to say that I am having this problem and I am on DSM 5.1-5022 Update 3 so I don't think that is the case. Added a 5th Western Digital Red 3TB and I get the option to expand, but it just fails and goes back to saying "You can expand size to about 11160". I will be trying the guide in this article in the next couple days but figured I would post some screencaps if anyone cares to take a look. https://www.dropbox.com/s/b7ofykw9k3f4eli/Volume.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/nmb5nezkxuj566r/DiskGroup.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/kv9pmfq7ze73ewa/HDD_SSD.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/btnpehk4vr82wyi/log.JPG?dl=0

I have not been able to get hot-swap working on my Asus Z87-i board with XPEnology. I always have to restart XPE to get it to notice the drive. I would like to know if others have got this to work as well.

I never understood that method after reading it, but for whatever reason, I have no problems updating DSM by simply going to Control Panel>DSM Update. Obviously, Synology could release an update at anytime that wrecks our XPEnology boxes. So, I guess that is the risk you take, you can go the official route, which has worked fine all the way from 4.3 update 1, or, you could wait until someone on these boards release's the modified update or gives the go-ahead. Considering my account was just enabled after registering 1 month ago, I would not hold my breathe, your best bet would be to just try doing the update through Control Panel. Please, if I am misinformed about this, correct me.
