Dual Redundancy / raid-6 on OS 6
So I have am serveral days into the process of getting a dual redundant OS 6 nas. Really, there has got to be a better way than this; assuming starting with a new clean nas, - update to latest...
Hmm, well maybe I am just slow, but by the time I get to the volume after a factory reset, it is already created the x-raid/raid5 volume and started resyncing.
Something I did not try, was delete the raid-5/x-raid and create a new raid-6 volume, which may have been faster, but I wasn't sure if there was any dependencies on the default data volume.
In any case, the process for raidiator 4.x was dead simple (either via raidar option, or as an option for the next disk within frontview), in OS 6 it is neither simple nor obvious/apparent within the OS 6 GUI, and even in the forums is not very well documented other than the few scattered comments.
