We followed a different process:

1. backup data
1.5 Delete shares, volumes, and raid arrays
2. power off SNAP. remove disk on slot 2 through 4
3. put new non formatted disc on slot 2.
4. power ON and let it sync. (about 10 minutes from startup)
5. when sync is done, power off. remove disc on slot 1 and put new disc from slot 2 to slot 1.
6. Power ON. If boots fine, put all new discs to slot 2 to 4.
6.5 let all drives sync. (about 10 minutes)
7. Rebuild Raid 5
8. Verify/Restore Snap server settings
9. Restore from Backup.

But step 4 did not work. Old disk did not sync with new disk. We did a fresh install.
Was able to build the RAID 5. new size 1.36Tb

We stopped restore of data (since we noticed CPU and Mem usage is high). Restarted (we probably should not have done this). Syncing starts again but takes forever. more than 2 hours passed and still 0% completed.

Is this normal ?
