adding 1 HD to existing 3 that are RAID 5
« on: January 24, 2012, 03:39:05 AM »

Hi

 

I have a LS-QVL/E, which I created a RAID 5 with 3 2TB drives. 

 

I recently bought 1 more drive (same brand and capacity) and just added to  LS-QVL/E (4th bay). My intention is to increase the capacity with the same array. Somehow it created a second array of 1 disk, while the other 3 disks remain as RAID 5 in array 1.

 

What can I do to increase my RAID 5 capacity with this new drive without destroying the data that's already on array 1?

 

Thanks
