Hi guys, I decided to pull the trigger and purchase my 4th ReadyNAS this evening - the 628X.  I went with 8 -Seagate IronWolf Pro ST14000NE0008 drives.

Sounds like a great setup :smileyhappy:

My question is, is there a way to increase at least by 2-3x the root partition on a clean install?  I don't want to ever run into the problems I've run into with the other ReadyNAS boxes with the root partition filling up requiring maintenance and cleanup to resolve.  Does anyone know what default size is on a new install and if/what I am able to change it to?

The default is 4 GB, and I know of no way to change that.

As you perhaps already know, OS-6 is less likely to run out of space, because the apps are installed on the data volume instead of the root.  In many cases here, the OS fills because something is wrong - a larger partition wouldn't solve the problem, it would only give you some more time to deal with it.

I also found it a bit strange that every posting for this box on Amazon and Newegg for the 628X shows the processor speed at 2.2Ghz instead of 2.4Ghz.  According to Intel the Xeon processor is 2.4, so that confused me quite a bit.  .
