Adding drives without redundancy
Howdy! I have a RN102 which I use as a media server, running Plex. It's been working great up until I ran out of drive space recently. The unit currently has a single 2TB drive in it. I have ...
Hi AlexPe!
I have a 2TB drive which currently has all my media on it.
I added a 3TB drive and wanted to use the full 3TB as additional storage.
The RN102 configured both drives as RAID 1 automatically.
I don't need them to be set up as a RAID and want them to be configured as JBOD, so that I have 5TB of storage.
Can I reconfigure this without having to copy everything off of the drives first?
You would need to backup your data (you should do this regularly anyway if your data is important), disable X-RAID, destroy the volume (deletes all data), then create the volumes you want. I would suggest calling the first volume 'data' (no quotes). Then you could put the data back on.
