Are now changing from 10TB to 16TB HDD's, but it seems that I have a problem now,
because the UI have changed since last time I did it. QNAP TS-251+ with v. 5.1.5.2679.

I have one by one swapped the two HDD's without any problems (ok.... it took nearly 48 hours), but that was not a problem.

As you can see in the picture (DataVol1 Management) I select "Actions" and "Resize Volume", and the next window shows the following
(Expand Static Volume Wizard), but none of these options will do what I want (I thinks), to resize the volume.

Last time I did this (two years ago), I just did the following:
1) Hot Swappet two HDD's one by one.
2) Changed the capasity from 6TB to 10TB, one by one.
3) Changed the volume to max. capacity.
Simple and elegant.

So why this problems now ??? and any help ???

QTS has changed a lot over time... you've updated the raidset, but the FS size is static - this is good, as it protects your data on the array,

Look at your "storage pool" - that might be where you grow things out.

Worst case - reach out to QNAP directly, and/or check their user forums...
 
The answer was posted in the QNAP forum where you posted the same question.
 
Thanks to sfx2000 and dosborne :)

@dosborne
You're right, and the poster over there had the right answer, so I'm up 'n running,
with my two new HDD's.

Thanks again :)
