Title: Help " Failed to operate RAID array. Please resubmit after restart"

Failed to operate RAID array. Please resubmit after restart

Why does it say that? Are my 10TB hard drives too big for it to handle?

Model TS-XE8.0TL/R5

I believe they ship with up to 12TB on storage( 3TB X 4 drives)

My understanding is that once you got past the 2TB limit, you could use all modern drives.

However there is some issue with this machine creating the raid volume.

Thanks.

I haven't tried on this specific device though I have on a similarish one (ls-qvl). There is a hard 16TB volume limit, I beleive this is corresponds to a 32-bit address space * 4k blocks but don't quote me on it.

I would expect with 10tb drives on a 32-bit arm device you could operate in a non-raid or possibly raid1 configuration but raid 0/5/6/10/etc would cause problems.

I spent a fair amount of time experimenting with 4x6tb drives about 2 years ago and was unable to find a way around this with either the stock firmware or running debian.
