NV+ V1 OS?
Raidar 4.1.8 is based on what, really? I know i've seen it somewhere, but i just cant seam to find it now. And of course, someone asked... So now i just got to find out again. B!
GPT support is missing. I believe this came in a much newer kernel than what is available for Sparc.
The NV+ will handle drive capacities up to 2TB in size. Note that if you didn't last factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) on 4.1.7 or later you may have poor write performance with 4k sector disks (e.g. a large number of 2TB disks).
What drives are you wanting to use? If they are 2TB drives or smaller their should be a solution to your problem.
For larger capacity drives unfortunately you'll need a new NAS e.g. an ARM ReadyNAS (such as the NV+ v2) or an x86 ReadyNAS (I would recommend this - such as the Ultra or the Pro). As these are on a different platform you cannot simply migrate the disks across so you'd need to transfer your data e.g. across your network. If you're buying new drives anyway this shouldn't be a big problem.
To help keep the cost down you could look to using both the NV+ and a newer NAS. Remember if you get a new NAS you don't need to fill it straight away. You can start e.g. with a few disks, and add more later.
