Ready NAS v2 - Additional drive has changed Raid level
Hi! I have a ready nas v2, I set it up as jbod with 1*1.5TB drive. This morning I added a 2nd 2TB drive, I expected it to be added as another 2TB JBOD volume, however, the raid level has changed to RAID 0 and therefore the additional drive is being reported as 1.5TB.
Is this normal? I assumed since I setup JBOD to start with that I would be able to use the full 2TB of the 2nd drive. Can someone please shed some light on this?
Many thanks in advance.

- HI, dabbler. that's becasue at the beginning you choose raid level0. now disk1 is 1.5T, in raid0, the capactiy be limited by the smaller one. don't worry, after you put another 2TB one in and it has finished sync, you shoule be able to use full 2TB.
- This sounds like a bug to me. JBOD shouldn't be limited by the capacity of the smallest disk in my opinion.
- dabbler, can you download system logs from the status logs page, and open initrd.log, paste the values here.
If you selected JBOD during setup, it should have a line similar to this:
[timestamp] Selected Flex-RAID mode, 10GB snapshot, RAID level -99
If the value there is not -99, it is not JBOD.
