Separate data (volume c) and system volumes
I find it hard to understand why the system volume is not an internal device instead of being resident on the drives that are placed in the chassis. An SD card or USB or something else mounted inside...
1) why? what point would that serve?
2) viewtopic.php?p=193604#p193604 worked for me in the past as well
Yes it would be a lot nicer if they had a 'reset system only' option which left your data intact while cleaning everything else up.
Personally I am happy that the OS/config are stored on the disks, this means that everything travels with the disks, ie you can remove the disks (as a set) from one readynas, and put them in another readynas of the same architecture (as a set) without any issues.
If the system was stored separately from the disks, it would involve some type of pain in the arse system import/export just to get your disks booted up in a different system.
