RN102 XRaid Question
I have been using 2-bay RN102 with a single disk. Now I need to replace that disk with another disk of same size. As per my understanding, adding second disk on RN102 will clone contents of old disk ...
You should have put the disk in with the NAS on. Try a reboot, otherwise remove disk 2, wait a few minutes then reinsert it with the NAS on.
Xraid will add the disk, and after the resync which will take several hours,you will then have a 2 disk raid1 array.
You cannot go back to JBOD. If you remove disk 1 the NAS will tell you that you have a degraded volume.
If you really do not want to have redundancy, then you would need to copy all your data to another location, put the new disk in slot 1, create a new volume , then copy the data back on.
I would strongly recommend using redundancy, as I pointed out, you are in this awkward situation because you are not using redundancy
