How do I resize the device highlighted in red in the screen shot below
You can't as the message states that's for resizing file systems on a Raid, you have selected a single block device

So what is the best thing for me to do? . . . Delete it and create a larger one from scratch?

I'm assuming that what you have highlighted is a single drive or are you saying that's a partition on a drive, if the later then you would need to run gparted to extend it.

It's a partition on the WD4TBBlue. Hate to ask this but, where do I find/access gparted? Also, does [ . . . to extend it ] serve as another way of saying to [delete it] since I cannot resize it?

The option I would suggest is to use a gparted live cd but you'll need a monitor etc to use it, there is an option in omv-extras kernel but read the information supplied.

With gparted you can resize a partition/filesystem if there is space available on the drive.
You can also reduce the size of one partition/filesystem and then increase the size of another partition/filesystem.
As geaves mentioned you can either boot gparted live cd on the server instead of OMV, or you attach the drive to another computer (laptop, desktop) and boot the live cd there.

Thanks macom.
I'll go to work on this and see if I can figure it out. I would assume gparted could be placed onto a USB3.0 drive versus a CD and then plug it into my desktop to access the server downstairs; correct?

You can boot gparted also from an USB stick, yes. But you need to have the drive on which you want to resize partition locally connected to that computer.
So either boot gparted on the server
or
connect the drive to you desktop and boot gparted on the desktop.
You can also use various other linux distros to run gparted on them.

Okay, thanks again. I'll go to work on things. May take awhile.

Make sure you have backup. Usually gparted work very well, but you never know.

If Aomei Partition Assistant Professional can handle linux filesystems it should work.

Seems it is not up to the task:
Pretty impressive name for a tool that cannot do much

HA. Understood and agreed. I'll just be careful as I proceed with gparted.
