To answer myself and for the reference of someone else: You need to update the firmware to at least: V1.43 2007-4-17 Then get the archttp from the areca site (get the newest!) after that you can "RESETCAPACITY Raid Set # 00" enter in the "Rescue Raid Set" screen. It will recognise the new sizes. Proceed as normal (add VolumeSets, expand a volumeset whatever...) hope it saves someone some time... -- http://noneisyours.marcher.name http://feeds.feedburner.com/NoneIsYours You are not free to read this message, by doing so, you have violated my licence and are required to urinate publicly.
