JBOD resync?

OK, I have the above NAS (RN202). I started off with 1, 1tb WD (green) drive using JBOD. I have added a second 3TB WD drive (red)also as JBOD. It is currently resyncing. Is this normal? I thought JBOD was just a disc and it would just be available. I thought resyncing was something that happened when you were creating a "proper" raid setup. I am planning on getting a second 3TB drive to replace the 1TB drive. This is just what I have at the moment.

If anyone could enlighten me on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Is XRAID on or off?  (if the green stripe is on the XRAID control on the right of the volume tab, then it is on).

     

    If it is on, then you are migrating to RAID-1, and the only solution will be to backup the data, do a factory reset, and then rebuild the NAS/restore the data.
