I actually tried converting to single, but that failed also.

Believe it or not, I actually filled it up, again. I miscalculated my
quota, and filled it up while restoring. This time, I added the extra hdd,
and a loopback device, and it worked! I just finished removing the loopback
device, and it's still in business. I'm working to test my 1TB quota, now.
Then, I need to pay a little more attention to the next quota.
