rmp.dmd1229,
Some of the min. requirements for upgrading to larger drives are:
1.) Having GOS 4.2 or higher
2.) Having the GOS file 4.2 or higher to install
3.) Having 1GB of memory or higher
4.) Having the original drives. I assume yes on this one.
Do you have these min. requirements ?
And yes "stopped restore" was not a good thing. You will have to start all over again by wiping the new larger drives.

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 ?
