re ready Nass ultra 2
i have install 6.9.5 on ultra 2 but the admin page is not workiong and its got an ip 192.168.10.100 and is sysc the volume. and its doing it aging from oliver
Did you also upgrade the RAM to 2GB? I've not heard of specific issues due to insufficient RAM before OS6.10.x, but you're going to need it soon.
If the Ultra2 is still syncing, GUI access may be adversly affected. The Ultra series have fairly poor performing processors by today's standards, so that kind of multi-tasking may be asking a lot (especially if also with limited memory).
Do you have a specific issue with the IP address?
hi
we did a reinstall of the os6 and now that is working
but only dis is 1tb but only showing 459 there
does it resize by in self or do we something like run this commund

Is the volume still syncing? Can you post a screenshot of the volume page?
Please find screen shot enclosed
As you can see bay 1 is 1tb and bay 2 is 500gb
Volume as you can see is showing 458.95 free ?
How do you get the volume to show the correct amount (1tb in bay 1 and 500gb in bay 2 ) ?
Does it add the 2 drives together to make one total ?
When using it does it put on either disc or does it fill one first ?
Thanks Martin / Oliver

Your NAS is using RAID-1 - as you can see from the screenshot next to the volume wheel. RAID-1 mirrors the disks - everything written to one is simultaneously written to the other. That gives you some protection against a disk failure, and also allows you to expand the volume size later on without data loss.
Since they are mirrored, the volume size can't be bigger than smallest disk - 500 GB in you case.
Personally I think that RAID-1 is the best mode for most users. If you want to keep it, you should get two 2 TB drives (perhaps Seagate Ironwolf models). Using both would give you 2 TB of storage. Alternatively, get one Ironwolf to start, and just use one disk in the NAS now. Then add a second matching disk later on (as budget permits). A single Ironwolf 2 TB drive costs about $80 (current US pricing).
The other option is to set up the disks to be independent - using one volume for each disk. This mode is called "jbod". You'd need to
- change to flexraid by clicking on the XRAID control in your screen shot. The green stripe on the control will disappear
- destroy the current volume (click on the volume settings wheel)
- click on the first drive in the center graphic and create a jbod volume
- click on the second drive in the center graphic, and create a second jbod volume.
Then you need to put some shares on each disk. You don't want a volume to get more than about 85% full, so you want to set up the shares with that in mind.
