Cannot Add Drive to RAID 5

Post by MOTU83 »

Hello,

I am trying to add a disk to my existing RAID5 but when I go to management, the option to add disk is greyed out.

All disks are 3TB.

I recently migrated from RAID1 with two disks to RAID5 with 3 with no issues.

Is there something else I need to be doing before I can add the disk?

Thank you,
Richard

I'm guessing that your disk-4 might be slightly smaller than the other disks, although it shows 2.73GB. You can check the total sector count on each disk if you know how to use ssh.
