...the point is that you can rebuild the volume if either disk fails. The nas file system is not designed so that it would be readable outside the nas, although it is possible to do this with some work, just not with with disk 2 in the duo; although this may be possible with the right software and knowledge. With the later 2 bay units you wouldn't be able to read either of the disks with linux reader even though they both have partition tables on them. The bottom line is that the second disk is not a "backup" and you should not rely on being able to read the nas disks outside the nas itself.

Ah right, so it'll still rebuild anyway, just disk 2 isn't readable - good to know.

Might be worth investing in a newer one soon then :)

When you say "ordinary Linux machine", does that mean they would read with Linux Reader also?
