ReadyNas 214 export volume help needed
Ive just done an export of the drives 4x8tb in a 214, was hoping to fit them to a 424 readynas as upgrade. i think ive made a mistake. how can i do a cold import? Would this only work if i had a 6 bay and 2 drive already mounted and working then insert them?
is there any other way to mount them?

You should have just powered down both NAS and moved all the disks to the corresponding bays in the RN424. Then powered up the RN424.
Try rebooting the RN214, and see if the volume gets re-mounted.
I know thought i was being safe but wish i just swopped them now. i think the data is safe just, keeping drives in order, just wish there was more info on this. It just says incert them but that may work if i was putting the 4 drive into 4 empty slots i think. mus be a back door way to re mount them.
thats for the post.
if i had a 6 bay Readynas with only 2 drives running Xraid, could i put these drive in bay 3,4,5,6 and they would then mount? is this how it works?
