[RN102] Jbod boot up problem
Hi, I bought the RN102 to upgrade from the previous ReadyNAS Duo. I'm running Win 7 sp 1 on a Zotac Ci320 nano. I setup the RN102 to run with Flex raid and JBOD configuration. I put in two disk ...
I've got this answer:
So, as I read on the page linked, ti seems that jbod only supports 1 disk at a time. Then why I was able to use two disk more than once?
Still, it seems that managing jbod with the NAS is a bad idea.
This leaves me one problem to solve: trying at least to recover, if possible, the data on DISC5 (which has both the data on DISC1 and 2 on it), which is shown as empty but it's obviously not.
Should I ask on a linux forum?
Hi Paolo ,
I apologize for the short answer, it appears that I did not understand the issue fully before responding. The new OS6 system configured raid as follows, JBOD starts with only 1 disk (you can add additional disk for expansion but not for protection). If you select Flex-Raid and inserted 2 drives, it will automatically format it as Raid 0,1. Please click on the link below for additional information:
