Partitioning 2 volumes
Hello guys, I need help here, all the others topics are too old and don't fit with what I'm trying to achieve. I have a 2To and a 4To loaded in my ReadyNAS Duo, and I'd like to separate in half t...
Hey,
I'm running on 6.7.4, and I can't tell you if it's a V1 or not
If you are running 6.7.4, then you don't have a Duo at all. You have one of these:
- RN102
- RN202
- RN212
- RN312
- RN422
Can you post a screenshot of your current volumes tab (from the admin web ui)?
Okay, it's written RN102. But I was sure it was a duo :/

Well, now you know what you bought. A duo is very different, and the procedure isn't the same.
You will need to back up your data, because the only way to shift to two volumes is to destroy the one you have.
Once you've done that, you
- Turn off X-RAID (if it is on). That's done on the volume tab. If the X-RAID button has a green stripe through it, then X-RAID is on. Click on the button to turn it off.
- Uninstall any apps you have installed.
- Destroy the current volume, using the settings wheel on the volume tab
- Select one of the disks, and create a new volume. I suggest using "data" as the name. You'll want jbod.
- Select the second disk, and create another volume with a different name. The name shouldn't match any of your user names or share names.
- Re-create the shares you want on the volumes you want them on.
- Restore the data to those shares from your backup.
- Reinstall any desired apps.
While that's the best he can do, it's not what I believe he'd like to do. As I read it, he wants the 2TB and half the 4TB as a redundant RAID and the remaining half of the 4TB as a non-redndant partition. The ReadyNAS just won't do that.
