Blue Flashing Night to NAS
I have a NAS RN10200 (which I got second hand). I've put a 2 and a 3 Tb disk in and tried to start the NAS... The blue light comes on but then after a short while now flashed continually? The sec...
(Unless regression in 6.7.0)
If the user manual says that, then the user manual needs to be updated ^^
In Flex-RAID, you can indeed aggregate several disks into a single volume.
Technically, it just makes several BTRFS devices inside the same BTRFS volume.
+ no loss in volume capacity
+ it's possible to use disks of mixed capacity
+ single volume is more convenient to manage
- no redundancy

It certainly does say it.
The manual is technically correct. You can only create a JBOD volume with one disk. But once it's created, you can expand it with another single-disk JBOD component in Flex-RAID mode.

Except that this is not what the manual says...
http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/READYNAS_OS_6_SM_EN.pdf, page 24:
JBOD.This most basic RAID level does not protect your data from loss if one of your drives fails. JBOD is available only on volumes consisting of a single hard disk.The manual doesn't say this is the limitation for volume creation, the manual says that JBOD is only available with single disk volume. Not once is the word "create" used in this section of the manual.
