Make Multiple "volumes" ?
I'm a new Netgear user, and am migrating my files from a traditional Windows 2003 files server with 2 completely separate disk arrays (presented to the user as F: and H:). I would like to continue th...
You could still present mapped disks to your users as F: and H: even with the integrated volume. For instance, create an F shared folder and an H shared folder, and map those.
However if you want two volumes, you can do that. These volumes will not shown to the end user, and you will not be able to expand the capacity of the array later on. You also some lose available storage. So I am thinking you probably don't want to set it up this way. However, if you still want to do this, you begin by doing a factory reset (which starts everything over). You have 10 minutes from the time you initiate the reset to change the Raid configuration. You want to change it to use "flex raid". You can then set up two independent volumes.
BTW, how are the file permissions set up on your existing server?
