RAID Expansion
When larger disks have replaced the smaller disks thru RAID Rebuild, the file system on the RAID is not changed. Administrator can press this button to check to see if there is room to expand the file system. If yes, then the file system will grow to take advantage of the larger disks.
And RAID Expand is for expand each drive maximum capacity, for example:
Drive 1 750G
Drive 2 250G
Drive 3 750G
The RAID 5 total available capacity is 750G (250G x 3 = 750G)
Note: During RAID Migration and RAID Expansion, all the file services such as SMB/CIFS, AFP, NFS, FTP will not be available. The time to finish these operations depends on the size of your hard disk drives and your RAID volume..
WARNING: RAID Migration and Expansion are inherently risky operations. Please make sure your system is protected by an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to prevent accidental power failure, which might result data loss.
WARNING: These operations will cause heavy loading on your RAID system. RAID Migration and RAID Expansion will not be available if your RAID is in degraded state.
In case Drive 2 250G replace with 750G drive, the N5200 will begin rebuild RAID, after RAID rebuild is finished, the total capacity still 750G, but once execute RAID Expand, the RAID total capacity will increase to 2.25T (750G x 3 = 2250G).
