We do not support expanding the size of a volume by adding a disk to it. We also cannot convert any existing volume to RAID 5. You will need to restore from backup to create this volume.

Thanks. Which part doesn't work, the convert DATA1 to a 3 disk RAID5 preserving files or the expand 3 disk RAID5 to 4 disk RAID5 or both?
