JBOD to X-RAID2 on a 104
I have a RN104 with a 4Tb drive (6.2.0) (currently pretty full, 525GB free of 3.49TB, but I may be able to free ~1.6 TB). I am waiting for delivery of 2 x 4TB (WD-Red). I wish to have a simple X-RAID...
Hi Stephen, thanks for coming back
The volume is definitely a JBOD, but to my surprise I have a green button on the right saying "X-RAID", and if i click on it , it asks me to confirm that I wish to opt out of xraid, which I do not wish to.
Then hot inserting one disk should lead to proper xraid2 based on two disks (not a raid1 with mirrowing), which is what I wish.
The following disk will add extra capacity (after sinching again).
Thanks, berillio
p.s.
I did not realize that you could have x-raid2 with ONLY one disk !. Does it mean that the 104 is in a "fitticious" xraid (it says JBOD under the pie diagram with the disk usage on the left), basically ready to become a "proper" xraid2 once i install another disk? or that the data in that single disk is already "striped" in some sort of way, to give the user a degree of data security?

you are already running xraid2 (just with one disk)
