Duo V2 one disk expansion
Hi all , I have a duo V2 with 1 disk 1Tb installed in X-RAID2. I wanted to expand and bought a brand new 3Tb disk Added the new 3Tb disk to the NAS , sync started and anded after 5 hours successfu...
Hi All,
I am using Ready NAS Duo v2 and since I have similar questions I would like to reconfirm what do I need to do.
I have hardly any knowledge of RAIDs and NAS.
I have bought 4TB drive to ultimately replace the 1TB which came with the device. I added it to NAS, it munched for some time and then as I understood it - created XRAID2 of size 1TB on both disks.
I believed that it would be enough to take out old disk to have the size expanded to 4TB but after several attempts it always remained at 1TB. After reading the response to this post I understood that NAS will not automatically expand the volume of larger drive to use its full capacity, is this correct?
If yes then I need to back NAS up, perform a factory reset and restore the data to larger drive from the back up - correct?
I have not fully comprehended how to make a NAS back up to the local PC from reading a manual. Can you help me out with navigating to proper option?
Would there be a problem with restoring data from back up if I change RAID modes, e.g. to JBOD of 5TB size?
Many thanks for your advice!
