Adding a drive to the Readnas Duo V2.
Hi friends! I've had my ReadyNAS Duo v2 for quite some time, and I've been quite satisfied with the unit. It's been running as my Time Machine Backup drive, as well as network storage to be used ...
Thanks for your reply.
JBOD is one of my formatting options when putting the system into flexraid mode
I've formatted both disks to Flexraid - JBOD.
I did this so that I can control what goes on each separate disk.
The 3TB disk is a few years old, so I don't want to store anything valuable on it.
Ok. I guess the next step is to try and create a second volume when the erase completes.
I can't seem to figure out how to create a new volume.
It seems to me that the unit identified the second disk when I hot-inserted it, but I'm unsure how to actually create a second volume, either in the Web UI, or in Raidar.
The erase process is completed.
I hot-inserted the disk, and once again both the web ui and Raidar identifies the disk, and gives me the green lights.
Still no Volume D.
I've tried taking out the disk and putting it back in, with the unit running. This gives the same result.
After that, I tried rebooting the device with both disks inserted, but I still only have one volume.
Here are some photos to document my system status.Web UI identifies the hot-inserted diskBoth disks seem okRaidar gives me the green lights
The log snippet does say that the new volume creation failed, but it doesn't say how. Try downloading the full log zip file, and see if you can find something more helpful in there.
