Configuring volumes
Hi,
I've just added a new drive to my ReadyNas 102 - it has automatically configured itself as RAID and made a copy of the existing drive. I actually just want to address them as two separate volumes without RAID or JBOD and can't for the life of me work out how to configure this?
I'm running 6.2.0
Thanks,
James

- Backup your data
Disable X-RAID
Delete the volume
Create the new volumes you want
Restore your data from backup.
Using separate volumes is not recommended. Why do you want to do this?
Having separate volumes for each disk is JBOD. So I think you are confused on something.eb98jdb wrote: I've just added a new drive to my ReadyNas 102 - it has automatically configured itself as RAID and made a copy of the existing drive.

Perhaps we should start with what you want to accomplish, as mdgm suggests.- Hi,
Thanks for the help so far. I'm using flexRAID to pool the storage on 6 drives split across 3 NAS. I want to add the drive I've just added to the 102 as additional storage rather than a clone of the existing data - that's what I'm trying to achieve.
Thanks - Then mdgm's instructions will work.
