Added 4Tb HDD to Iomega IX2-200 but cannot extend the volume

I have a Iomega IX2-200 which came with 2Tb (1.8Tb usable) space.

It has two disks set up as RAID1.

I am trying to upgrade this to 4Tb disks.

So far this is the process I have followed:

1. Remove the 2nd disk from the IX2, and replaced it with a 4Tb disk.

2. The IX2 automatically starts to resync / mirror disk1 (2Tb) to the new 4Tb disk.

3. After several hours, we see the seconds disk as 1.8Tb.

4. Replace the first disk with another 4Tb drive, and restart.

5. The IX2 again starts mirroring disk2 to disk1.

6. Several hours later we have 2 4Tb disk in the IX2, but with only 1.8Tb showing as available.

7. The IX2 does not have gdisk installed, so I remove the disks, connect them to a Linux server as USB drives and run gdisk:

gdisk /dev/sdh x e

This enables me to extend the partition (type Microsoft basic data 0700).

8. Repeat with the other disk.

9. Now put disks back into the IX2 and reboot.

10. Grow and resize the volume:

umount /mnt/pools/A/A0
mdadm --grow /dev/md1 --size=max
pvresize /dev/md1

11. Check the results:

12. Reboot.

13. Result - still shows as 1.8Tb:

I spotted a couple of config files with volume sizes, so I edited these:

/etc/sohoProvisioning.xml

Increasing the Size values for Ident 2 and 3 below:

<Partitions>
<Partition Ident="0" Drive="0" Size="21484429312" Device="sda1" SysPartition="1"></Partition>
<Partition Ident="1" Drive="1" Size="21484429312" Device="sdb1" SysPartition="1"></Partition>
<Partition Ident="2" Drive="0" Size="3979300000000" Device="sda2" SysPartition="0"></Partition>
<Partition Ident="3" Drive="1" Size="3979300000000" Device="sdb2" SysPartition="0"></Partition>
</Partitions>

Rebooted but still only 1.8Tb is usable.

Update 1

Following the first answer suggestion I ran:

lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/5244dd0f_vg-lv58141b0d

Then I ran :

xfs_growfs  /mnt/pools/A/A0
meta-data=/dev/mapper/5244dd0f_vg-lv58141b0d isize=256    agcount=4, agsize=120783104 blks
         =                       sectsz=512   attr=2
data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=483132416, imaxpct=5
         =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks
naming   =version 2              bsize=4096
log      =internal               bsize=4096   blocks=32768, version=2
         =                       sectsz=512   sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=0
realtime =none                   extsz=4096   blocks=0, rtextents=0

But the array size is unchanged:

root@nmsts1:/# mdadm -D /dev/md1
/dev/md1:
        Version : 01.00
  Creation Time : Mon Mar  7 08:45:49 2011
     Raid Level : raid1
     Array Size : 3886037488 (3706.01 GiB 3979.30 GB)
  Used Dev Size : 7772074976 (7412.03 GiB 7958.60 GB)
   Raid Devices : 2
  Total Devices : 1
Preferred Minor : 1
    Persistence : Superblock is persistent

I seem to have broken the second disk so the array is only showing /dev/sda, but even with one disk the resize should work shouldn't it?

You did everything except the last two steps:

• Resizing the logical volume. You have a 1.82TB free showing in your vgdisplay, so you've done everything up to this point correctly. Now you just need to resize the LV. For example:

  lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/5244dd0f_vg-lv58141b0d
  

• Finally resizing the filesystem within the logical volume. How to do that varies depending on what filesystem you used, but this information is not available in your post.
