Readynas dup v1 - Raid-0
Hi People. I have my readynas running with a 2TB disk and a 1½ TB disk, the 2 TB disk stop working (but was able to make clone of it after a new weeks of hard work) but i got a new disk and plugge...
-If you have a SATA/USB enclosure, you can connect the old drive to the USB port of the NAS, and copy the data files over to the new volume.
-Alternatively, you can try powering down the NAS, removing both the existing drives, installing the clone, and powering up.
If all is well, the NAS should boot, and you would see the old files. In that case you could copy the files somewhere, power down the NAS again, and restore the new drives. (Or take a bit more risk, and power down the NAS, and restore just the 1.5 TB drive, and leave the clone in place).
The power down/power up matters, as you don't want the NAS to think you are inserting a new drive (which it will wipe). Generally I don't like messing with drives unless I have a current backup - there is always the risk something will go wrong.
