Convert ReadyNAS Duo v2 to JBOD
Hi, I've got this old ReadyNAS Duo v2 with two 1TB harddisks which is running X-RAID. My system has changed and I don't need RAID anymore. Question : Is there any way, to convert the X-Raid optio...
Sorry mdgm,...
I totally overlooked the fact, that the last suggestions came from you.... apologies for that...
As I have stated before... I'm really getting old.... grin...
Anyway I am equally grateful for your help on this.!!
Very best regards,

Hello LodyJ,
If you have important files stored, back up these files because you will have to factory reset.
See article How do I change my Duo v2 or NV+ v2 from X-RAID2 to Flex-RAID?, this will explain what RAID levels available in OS5 NAS which is the OS of your ReadyNAS Do v2.
After factory reset, reinstallation and selecting the RAID level are the next steps. JBOD is available in FlexRAID.
We hope this helps and we look forward to your update.
Regards,
Hi JennC,
Thanks a lot for your suggestions and my excuses for late reply...
I tried out your suggestion in many different ways, but no success...
I checked in at NetGear support.
It appeared, that, although the label said it was a v2 unit, I have a version1.
So... things changed completely...
Anyway your suggestion started me on the right route to salvation.... :)
Thanks for your kind help.
Best regards,
