X-RAID2
Hello, I want to transfer all my data to another kind of NAS, but I also need the drives from which I am transferring data on the new NAS. Is there a way to gradually, while the transfer progresses...
Good.
Can you walk me through it? (in layman's words please. I am a sysadmin on Windows servers)
Can't be done in layman's terms. I explain the process here: Reducing-RAID-size-removing-drives-WITHOUT-DATA-LOSS-is-possible

Note his explanation assumes OS 6. If you are running the usual 4.2.x firmware on your Pro-6, the details would be a bit different.
Yeah, I forget that they called it "XRAID2" in OS4.2.x. That would be way different, OS4.2.x uses LVM and the EXT files system in place of BTRFS. Steps would be nearly the same, but specific commands would be different. And I've never done it nor intend to try.
