I had 2 Volumes on the DS1512+; 1 2 HDD volume and 1 3 HDD volume.
I replaced one of the drives in the 2-HDD volume (put that disk in another computer) and put a 1TB HDD in its place.
I removed the volume in the Synology Control Panel.
Then, I selected "manage" for the other volume and chose "Expand volume..." and selected the two other disks that were not part of any volume yet.
I went ahead and confirmed the expansion and it seemed to chug away however at the end, it still shows only 8.04TB available (3 3TB HDDs that formed the original volume). The new drives are 1 2TB disk and 1 1TB disk.
The original volume (3 3TB HDDs) was set up as a JBOD volume.
So adding disks should be relatively straightforward. I should have a single >10TB volume with the 5 HDDs in there as a JBOD volume!
Yet, I can't see the additional storage space and now I don't know what to do! :x
Under Storage Manager, only the "Remove" button can be selected while the others are all grayed out! I don't want to remove the volume as I have all my backed up data on there.
PLEASE HELP!
