March 9, 20188 yr I added a new 2 TB disk to my array. It formatted and came in just fine, but somehow only certain user shares that I have created can use the new disks. All shares are set to use all disks by default, but some show the new available space +2 TB and some don't. I've tried stopping/restarting the array itself. Anything else I should do? Do I need a full reboot?
March 9, 20188 yr Author Full reboot didn't fix it. Tried deleting and re-adding one share. Still comes back with only 1 disk available instead of 2. Does adding a new disk require a new parity check before all will work correctly?
March 9, 20188 yr The share likely has to start using it before it is considered part of the free space. In other words, the disk needs the share directory created on it before the free space of that disk is counted as "share free space".

March 9, 20188 yr Author just figured out, had to do with shares that had "manual: do not split directories" set on the share. once i changed that the total size changed right away.

If you have manual mode set then it is up to you to create the top level folder on the new disk corresponding to the share.
