I did but they can't help because . . .

Drobo partitioning uses equal sized partitions.  I have 10x150Gb for 
backups and the eleventh, which is about 4Tb, is for photos and music.  
I have reverted to that partitioning.  It isn't supported but it works.  
As long as I don't try to change anything it should continue to work.  I 
verified all the logical drives to be sure.

The problem I am faced with is my MBP has a 250Gb SSD.  While I am 
currently using much less than 150Gb, that will surely change.  Also, my 
photos and music are currently backed up on an identical Drobo but it 
isn't handy.  I would like to have a local backup. Bottom line, at some 
point, I will need larger partitions for backup and two partitions for 
photos and music.  I suspect the only way to do that will be to erase 
everything and start fresh.
