Just wondering if anyone has any experience from doing this.

I've got a synology DS413 NAS with a single WD Red 3TB in a solo volume (SHR without redundancy). There is about 30GB free on the drive.

I've added two more WD Red 3TB drives and expanded the volume through the storage manager.

Now I've got the below in my storage manager windows. Is this normal? When expanding a volume from a single disk do the shares unmount and its not possible to access the drive until the expansion has finished.

Any ideas? Just wondering if I've lost my data :(

 
Yes your drives will be not be able to be used until the process has finish, it can take a while to complete like a day I believe.
