RN102, Mix Raid 0 and Raid 1?
Hi guys, just got an RN102, I'm gonna fill it with 2xWDRED2TB, is it possible to have this configuration? 2x800GB (1.6TB) Raid 1 iSCSI LUN for backing up my linux server and storing its bigger files...
Basically I have the same question. I only have 2 x 3 TB WD Red and would like to have a 1 TB redundant LUN (RAID1) and a 4TB download LUN (RAID0 or JBOD)
Would it be possible in a future firmware version? such a configuration is only a software feature in this type of NAS

LUNs don't have RAID configurations; they are just files on the volumes. Also, 2x3TB can't give you a 4 TB volume with JBOD, that is physically not possible. JBOD doesn't span.
Assuming you really meant to say "volumes" - It would be nice if flexraid were a bit more flexible. Being able to allocate unused disk space into additional volumes would be nice.

Yes, I did mean volume.
Will that even be a feature to create more thane one volume with different raid settings?

You can do that now. A volume can span multiple disks, so you can mix jbod and RAID-1 or RAID-5.
But you can't have two volumes on the same disk, which is what you asked about.
