Once that is complete, your Pegasus RAID should then provide you with the full 6 TB of storage.Д«ut before you can turn Time Machine backups on again, you have to use Disk Utility to resize the RAID logical drive under the Macintosh Extended (HFS+) file system. In practice Disk Utility then performs a full check (not repair) of the file system, several hours more of intense disk thrashing. So it is probably worth repairing the existing 3 TB volume before trying to expand its size.ДЄt the end of that, it told me that one of the tables was too small, quit, and left the volume set at 3 TB size. As Disk Utility continues to grind through the laborious repair process, I can only hope that works. Howard вЂ“ many thanks for your guide! My lowly 6TB R2 was getting full, and frankly вЂ“ after 5 years in service I was getting just a little nervous. So IвЂ™ve almost completed your steps above (itвЂ™s synchronizing now, then last step is disk utility resize). * The new drives (Toshiba MD04ACA4) are MUCH louder than the original 2TB ToshibaвЂ™s.

Makes a helluva racket on my desk behind my monitors в–Ў Will have to consider a noise isolation technique.

* I ordered all 4 drives from Amazon, but at separate times. One of them was from a different distributor, who shipped that particular drive only in a padded envelope. Not surprisingly it was DOA so I returned.
