First of all thank you very much to the contributors on this forum - I've learned a lot!
Basically what happened was I tried to upgrade LacieOS while I was resizing my RAID partition. The drive never came back after restarting. I tried the LaCie Recovery tool and it was also unsuccessful. I suspect that the RAID partition had prior issues (a drive had failed in the past, and it was unable to successfully rebuild).
So I followed this post for setting up fresh disks. I read through all of the pages in the post and was able to follow the process to reinstall LaCie OS on each disk. I have 5x 2TB disks. For the record I had to do the
- Code: Select all
LaCieFirstBootLaCie
Next I followed the LaCie Web UI setup to create a new RAID5 array. The issue is that there is something wrong with the available capacity.

When I reformatted and installed Lacie OS on each drive I booted it up to check if it would turn on and show the Lacie web UI, and it did for each drive.
How can I create the appropriately sized RAID 5 array with these drives? I want the capacity to be 8TB (as it should be with 5x 2TB drives in RAID5).
Thank you so much for your help!
