RAID with JBOD
With 6.2 is there anyway to have a raid (two or more disks) and still have a separate addressable drive "outside" of the raid itself? I know it doesn't make sense but I might want to setup a dedicated...
I agree such "activities" shouldn't be performed under most circumstances. Especially with data of importance.
As my first post stated one case would be creating a volume on a single drive (perhaps using iSCSI) which does nothing but hold recordings. It would be nice to be able to move the volume/drive from one device to another and have it simply show up online. Another would be a volume (of perhaps more than one drive) which holds files for streaming.
I guess my real question (more for understanding than practice) is does the NAS have a boot drive per se (the first drive found or inserted) and are all of the other drives only (data) filesystems... not containing any OS. Much like your typical OS where there is a boot drive (containing the OS) and all of the other drives only contain data and can be installed and mounted by another device's OS.
If so it sort of leads to the ability to install a single drive in any device and upgrading it to the same OS version (X-RAID2 disabled in both cases). Once it's operational insert the drives for the volumes you want transferred and they are back online.
Again... it's more abstract than desired practice.
