Thanks for the advice! I manually added the drive as a spare after it failed to work with it as a non-spare. I haven't seen any errors in the status bar of IE when it was running, so I'm guessing there's no errors that IE can see. I've sent a message to Thecus and I'll see what they say... EDIT: FYI I've tried to run the scripts under IE7 (Vista), IE7 (W2K3 Server) and Opera 8.5 (Vista) with the same result on all of them. Last question , what firmware version about your N5200 ?

Well I've just slapped the upgraded firmware (1.00.7) onto the box and it's started the migration process. Eight hours to go though, so I'll keep you posted in the morning.......

Well, many MANY hours later, the migrate and rebuild have finished fine and all the extra spare space has been allocated as data (rather than USB or snapshot) which is exactly what I wanted.
I guess that solves my original problem!

so razzleultra, did you just upgrade to 1.00.07 then re-migrate the same set of drives?
I had a 2 x 500 GB drive RAID 1 that I added a drive to and migrated to 3 x 500GB RAID 5. It gave me (on 1.00.04) the same 500GB user capacity, with the extra 500GB assigned to snapshot. Sounds very similar to your original problem. I've upgraded to 1.00.07 and I'm currently doing a Migrate RAID 5 to RAID 5 on the same drive set. Hopefully this will "wake up" as a 1TB RAID 5 tomorrow morning.

Hmmm, I do hope this is working. After 16 hours the RAID finished migrating and started rebuilding. At this point the sizes reappear on the RAID page, but they're still the old values. Should I expect them to change once the rebuild has finished. I'm unclear as to which process, migrate or rebuild actually sets the size of the user data capacity. Screenie: I'll find out whther it's worked in about 3 hours, but any heads up would be useful. I'd like to be able to sort this out without having to copy 216GB off the RAID, remove and rebuild the whole thing then copy it all back on. Any clues if I'm on the right track or not? Cheers, Rattus

Exciting this.... I have at the moment gone from 3x750GB to 5x750GB RAID-5. Migration is still running 18 hours and has come to 68%. Hope it runs well.... ....for both of us.... Update --------- Migration finished after 26 hours. Build in progress 4.8% My snapshot-capasity is still 30GB Datacapacity is 926,562 MB / 2,782,280 MB (33.3%) USB capacity is 14,236 MB Finished everything after 29 hours. Everything went fine... ;D

well, that so didn't do anything for me. I guess because the destination RAID table is still rubbish, even after going to 1.00.07 I'm copying everything off onto a USB HDD, or at least I will once I've worked out how to make it writable. If I was going from 2 disks to 3 it might have worked, but the raid migrate/rebuild has no way of knowing that I want to recover the whole RAID for my data, rather than keep half for snapshot. Very frustrating, but once I've set it up I won't to f@ k with it again for a while I guess. Rattus

Hi Rattus, what partitions are on your USB disk and why are they not writable? Did you read the other thread discussing just that problem? If you still have problems with the USB disk, join that thread... Andreas

Thanks for the pointer Andreas, I'll go read that thread.
In the end I copied over the network to a fast system drive on one of my machines. The USB drive had a single 320GB FAT32 partition. I could read it but not write. It would be useful to sort this out for the future though, so thanks again.
