Changing the USB disk capacity

After initial setup it may be necessary to alter the size of the direct attach USB capacity to a larger or smaller value.  Before altering the disk size all data should be backed up from both the network shares and the USB partition of the drive.  Resizing the USB portion will result in data loss otherwise.
