You can use Dashboard to manage the configuration of the hard disks installed in your system. Dashboard automatically manages volume expansion when you add a disk to your ReadyNAS storage system. This expansion happens in the background while you continue to use your ReadyNAS system. The volume expansion process can take several hours. If you set up email notifications for your system, you receive an email message when the expansion process finishes.
To expand your Flex-RAID volume or volumes, add a disk to your ReadyNAS storage system. For more information, see the How do I add a disk to my ReadyNAS Duo v2 or NV+ v2? support article.
The volume is expanded in the background while you continue to use your storage system. The following table describes how the ReadyNAS storage system handles expansion.
