Possible to go back to dual redundancy on full chassis?

I have a full Ultra 6 XRAID-2 chassis, and was wondering if I clear out enough space, is there any way to have it shrink back the volume and go back to using the 6th drive as a dual edundancy drive?

    No. X-RAID2 is expandable not shrinkable RAID.

    You could however backup all your data, do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything), open RAIDar and choose X-RAID2 with the dual-redundancy option.
  • Thanks, but don't currently have a spare 9TB of free space somewhere to back up my data ;)
