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 b...
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?

Probably not, since the XRAID volume name is also data. I think the main purpose of the export is to have the NAS "forget" that the volume exists. That's not what you want to do when you are migrating everything to a new NAS.
Did you try just rebooting the RN214?
Yes, i wish that worked but didnt, may have to send the drives off to get revovered.

That shouldn't be necessary. Give JohnCM_S and Marc_V a chance to chime in.
