...well, I've started the replacement/expansion using larger disks.
The inbuilt process is designed for "hot-swappable" disks. My NAS isn't physically designed for that, though others by the same manufacturer are. Accordingly, the process is being run with the NAS disassembled. (I have hits on forums that people have undertaken the task in that way, and the swap worked when prompted, and now the new larger disk is resynchronising (rebuilding the mirror) with the remaining original).
From past building experience, it was expected to be slow, and it is - painfully so! At the end of this phase it's swap the other disk, (for a larger one)and resynchronise in reverse.
It then follows to expand the volume by using and synchronising the newly available space (which again will take time).
It can't be turned off in the interim, so it looks like I might be pulling an all-nighter. (brings back distant work memories of major recoveries of business-critical databases. I so miss that, not! ;-) ).
...AND
it is not impossible that, at the end of that process, it won't restart properly, but come up in an "initialising" state. There appears to be a quick and easy trick to correct that - we shall see!
