The NAS 2.0 is based on the 2.4 Kernel and you do not have the capability with our utilities to do Physical Volume resizing. NAS-XSR Enterprise you have this feature.
Hmm, a case of bad product selection on my side. I assumed (is the mother of all f..) that the difference between NAS and XSR was the software raid capability of XSR.
I have a new stategy; Create a RAID5 of 4 disks. During the migration create a second RAID5 of 4 disks.
The only drawback of this stategy is the loss of an extra disk.
Sorry for the inconvenience but there are limitations to the 2.4 Kernel on the NAS 2.0. On NAS-XSR it's not just the Software RAID features but greater expansion on Logical Volumes up to 16TB plus much more as identified on the following link.
The Open-E NAS-XSR family is the new generation of the Open-E NAS software. Compared to the Open-E NAS, the NAS-XSR family offers up to 60% better performance, Logical Volumes up to 16 TB, improved hardware compatibility and more features, like software RAID, cross data synchronization and Anti-Virus.
The Open-E NAS-XSR has now new Tuning Tools and support for Infiniband to increase the high data-throughput of the NAS servers based on the Open-E software.
