Migrating from X-RAID2 single redundancy to Dual redundancy
Hello, I have a ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer with 6 2TD disks in X-RAID2 single redundancy running on firmware ver 4.2.24. I'm only using 45% of the total space. Is is possible to migrate from single redu...
Since you have updated to 4.2.25 a factory default would give you a clean setup on that firmware.
A factory default would give you 4k sector partition alignment for all your disks regardless of whether they were added before/after you updated to 4.2.12.
When you updated to 4.2.16 the partitioning of your disks was converted from MBR to GPT. With a factory default on 4.2.16 or later your disks are partitioned using GPT from the start.
There may well be some filesystem improvements in the firmware since 4.2.11 which can only be obtained by creating a new filesystem (i.e. if using X-RAID2 when you do a factory default).
