Hi all, I am very new to this but my issue is I run two x Western Digital (2tb) in a ReadyNAS NV+ which is running RAID1. Strange as I selected flexible RAID0 but oh well, it can be reformatte...

Now it says I have 3.6tb over two different mapped drives. Odd i selected RAID 0 but there was no option for the consolidated drive like you mentioned...either way it seems to have done it itself?!
Presuming you selected "Flex-RAID"when you first configured the NAS, then you should be able to reconfigure the volumes in Frontview >> Volumes >> Volumes Settings
The other strange thing is I have allowed access to only two different folders, yet my WD HD TV Live and my PS3 both can access everything?!
Should I enable some of the Standard File Protocols?
Am I missing something or are these unnecessarily hard to set-up?
You may be mixing up DLNA access with standard file access.
Media clients like WD HD TV and PS3 communicate with the ReadyNAS DLNA server - this is a read-only media server that grants simple access to all media that is found in the locations specified when configuring the server in Frontview, consolidating it by type. There is no form of security associated with this server beyond specifying which shares/folders are served
The standard file protocols give you direct access to all files - media and other - on your NAS and access can be controlled

Your NAS supports many different access methods. So while not particularly difficult to setup, the flexibility offered can be a little daunting as there are many options and technologies that new users are often not familiar with and it takes time to learn about them all and determine the best options that meet your specific needs
