Raid 0 does not use full capacity
I have tried to install a Raid 0 with on 6 TB and one 3 TB hard disk t get a total of 9 TB. I know that I don't have redundancy then, but I am fine with this. This is what happens. As in the manual I...
You have converted to OS-6?
I don't use jbod (or RAID-0) accross multiple disks, and it's been a while since I set up a flexraid volume.
I believe you create a jbod volume on one drive first. Then create a RAID group on the second drive and concatenate it to the main volume.

Thanks,
the description is great and the installation went flawlessly. Only problem: I still can only select flexraid and level 0 or 1. 0 with both disks results in 6 TB instead of 9. No JBOD. Procedure: I destroy the volume, then select both disks and install RAID 0.
Any more suggestions?

I have upgraded to OS-6 newest version as recommended after a Bios Upgrade. I will try your procedure and come back. Thanks!
Fantastic, for everyone, here is how it works. You start by creating a volume from one disk. YOu are only allowed to make a JBOD. Then you expand it. You are only allowed to add a RAID group. If you do it, you end up with a volume with the full capacity. Thanks. Problem solved.
