Limit On Volume Count?
I have a readynas Ultra 6 unit that I am using in flex-raid mode. I added a new disk to the unit, and it recognized the disk as OK. The problem is that it is not letting me add a new volume for the...
The software on the Ultra is a port of an updated version of the software that shipped on the first ReadyNAS products released back in 2004. Before 2008 most ReadyNAS products had no more than 4 drive bays. Clearly adding support for more than 4 volumes wasn't seen as necessary. As the product is now EOL, it won't change in future versions of 4.2.x.
Having six separate volumes is not a good idea in my view as if any disk fails all data on that disk is lost. However the new OS, ReadyNAS OS does support creating a separate volume for each disk. So if you can backup all your data, you could update to that and restore your data from backup.
