[RN102] Jbod boot up problem

I use jbod on my backup NAS, but the disks remain in place. The idea is simply to maximize space.
With RAID you get a single volume, so you don't need to move files from disk to disk at all. Though given your current storage needs, I think an RN104 would have been a better choice than the RN102. Then you could fit everything on 2x4TB with single-failure protection and grow storage by adding a third 4 TB drive.
Though you can migrate the RN102 disks to an RN104 later on with no data loss.
