ReadyNAS Duo V2 No RAID, replace 1 drive
Hello, I have a ReadyNas Duo V2 for years. I have 2 harddrive in it (1TB + 2TB), there is no JBOD, redudancy, RAID or anything. What I see on the web page: ReadyNAS Duo v2 RAIDiator 5.3.13 RAID ...
With OS 4 or OS-6 you'd destroy the C volume from the admin UI. Then you'd hot-swap the new disk, and create a new volume on it. This wouldn't touch the data on your D volume.
I'm not sure about OS 5 - I never owned one, and the software manual doesn't describe how to delete a volume. Hopefully someone here who does own a v2 NAS (and who uses flex-raid) will be able to clarify.
You could also explore the web ui, and see if you can find a function to delete a volume. Secure erase might work, but I think it would be very slow
Thank you for your fast answer.
I double checked the web admin UI but I don't find a menu to work on volumes. (either the volume is here or isn't)
The only page which looks a bit like what you says (from far) is the "Shares" page where you can add/remove shares. But a Share is a directory on a drive/volume (I can create or delete shared folders, several ones on each volume), it's not the drive/volume that I create or delete.

Correct.
Hopefully a netgear mod (or a v2 user) will chime in.
Still waiting that somebody pops and gives me the magic solution... I'm not sure that something can be done except reseting the NAS and formating the disks. :(
