NV+ RAID Questions
I have poured over docs and posts but I just want to be double triple sure before embarking so am asking a redundant question I know... apologizies. I have an NV+. 2 drives running in bays 1 and 2...
Hopefully you understand that your desired configuration will not give you any more space that simply growing your existing XRAID volume to 4 disks.
Are you running a v2 (5.3.x firmware) or a v1 (4.1.x firmware)?
For the v1, flexraid is discussed starting on page 19 of the manual (http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/ ... 6Dec11.pdf)
For the v2, it starts on page 21 (http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/ ... 5Sep12.pdf)
Either way, start with 2 disks installed, choose flex-raid, and then raid-1. That is volume C.
After that is finished up, add one disk, and create a new volume D. This will be RAID-0.
When that completes, add one more disk, and create a new volume E. That will also be raid-0.
BTW, if you had wanted to protect Volume D instead (2 RAID-1 mirrors) you would have added the disk to Volume D, instead of creating a new volume.
You create the shares on the desired volume, which gives you control over which are redundant.
