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...
Correct. If you are pulling all the disks anyway and have a backup, then inserting all the new ones at the beginning is a good approach. It is faster than adding one disk at a time, and gives you more headroom on expansion (in this case letting you reach 16 TB if 8 TB drives ever showed up!).
One variation (since you are doing dual redundancy) - you can install 3 of the 4 drives, which will default to single redundancy. Then add the last, specifying it is for redundancy in Frontview. That avoids the 10 minute window to override the default raid config via RAIDar.
Remember to reinstall your add-ons before you restore the NAS config.
