Mount previously created raid via USB
Hi, Please forgive me if this has already been covered, but I didn't find it. I set up my Pro6 the other day with one 2TB disk and planned to add my other, smaller disks later. I didn't realize ...
If you connect the disk to a computer running Ubuntu you should be able to do something like this (I think, not sure if these are all the steps):
There is a page describing how to mount Sparc ReadyNAS drives in x86 linux, but x86 and ARM NAS use the standard block size so there is no need for "fuseext2".
Other alternative would be to power down NAS, remove all disks (label order), put 2TB disk in NAS, power on, backup data, power off, put disks back in same order as before, power on, verify things are working fine, hot-add 2TB disk (add while NAS is on), 2TB disk will be wiped etc., restore data from backup (you could restore the data backed up from the 2TB disk before inserting the 2TB disk if you prefer).
# sudo su
# apt-get install lvm2
# vgscan
# vgchange -ay c
# mount /dev/c/c/ /mnt
