How to increase RAID 1 volume capacity? [RESOLVED]

The ReadyNAS NV+ is fresh from the box, as well as the two 2TB drives. It is currently doing "something" out in the back room, so I assume it is running FlexRAID. There is no data yet, so the factory reset is no problem. The existing volume is on my desktop computer (I decided to move it after a virus on my laptop woke me from all-is-safe-land) and is currently on a no-name controller (so I'll be glad to get rid of that). Gonna break out the paperclip then ^^

If you are doing the normal install, the NAS is installing xraid. The way to get flexraid is to restart the factory default process. You have 10 minutes to override the xraid choice with RAIDar (at least that is the way the v1 works, I believe the v2 is the same in that respect).

The labeling is confusing, many people here purchased a v1, but thought they had a v2. If you aren't sure what you have, look at the firmware version before you factory default again. If it is 5.x.x you have v2, otherwise you have a v1.
