ReadyNas Duo Blank Configuratioin
Hi Everyone, I was just recently given my first NAS, so I'm new to this -- apologies if this is silly. My NAS is a ReadyNas Duo V1. I am trying to set it up for the first time and want to make s...
Hi,
I think that did the trick. It now shows: "X-RAID (Expandable Raid), 2 disks". Is that the one with the bitwise copy? So if one fails I just pop in a new hd and it resyncs?
Can I load stuff on the NAS now or do I need to wait until the resync terminates? What about some of the admin stuff (passwords, shares, etc), wait till it's done? Thanks!
Edit:
One last thing: I've been reading about X-raid and I'm not quite sure how that works. Suppose Disk A is 1 TB and B is 2TB. I think what will happen is that both disks go to 1TB. What happens in a 3 HD NAS? If A = 1, B= 2, C= 3, do they all initialize to 1 TB? Or Does X-Raid do something like A+B = C in terms of redundancy?
Thanks again!
