jpnn80 Posted February 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2017 Hi, As I don't understand why the storage manager can't let me expand my RAID volume to more than 16TB when I try to initialize my new Western Digital 8TB drive, is it because its size difference is too high with my smallest HDD at 4GB ? You can see the list of my HDD there https://www.dropbox.com/s/sp4ds16iu3qcpaz/RAID.jpg?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecapri Posted February 19, 2017 Share #2 Posted February 19, 2017 What kind of raid are you using, also if it is a Jbob or raid 0 you will have 0 tolerance if one drive goes down, me i use raid 5 or 6 but for that you need all the same drive size. ok your drive check if there is no bad sector on it.

jpnn80 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted February 19, 2017 I'm using SHR RAID with 1 disk fault tolerance, and the drive I want to initialize is brand new then DSM shows its SMART status as normal, so its not a hardware problem.

hotshots Posted February 19, 2017 Share #4 Posted February 19, 2017 How was this volume created? On an old Syno, not supporting bigger volumes (all 32-bit based models)? Then you can not expand over 16TB. Only way out is to create a new volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpnn80 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted February 24, 2017 Indeed you were right as the volume was created on a DS213air before I moved it to a HP Proliant N54L, without knowing that DS213air specs limits the volume size to 16TB, and DSM isn't able to go beyond after a NAS migration. Now my big problem is that deleting the volume also forces me to delete the packages, and from what I could find on internet, there is no way to make a backup of them with my custom settings, or the playlist database of Audio Station...

Can you move the packages to a different volume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
