RN104 New Volume
Could not see this particular problem, forgive me if I have missed it and started another thread for nothing. I have a new RN104, I started it for the first time with a new 4TB disk and followed the ...
- With RAID-1 the two disks are mirrored, so adding the second drive does not add capacity - it adds redundancy. If you hot-insert a third 4 TB drive the space will increase to 7.2 TiB, and the NAS will switch to RAID-5. You still have redundancy which protects against a single drive failure.
If you wanted jbod (no RAID) then you should start over with another factory reset (with only one drive installed), switch to FLEXRAID/JBOD, and hot-insert the second drive.
Adding a new disk to the RN104 is easy, I am puzzled by your comment on "not simple to add more disks".
Hi Stephen - No, the NV+ was switched off and never re-powered again until a couple of days ago when I powered it with no disks, to see if I could at least download the logs (now that I have Safari installed on this pc and I can download them). But without a disk, NV+ does not boot. I do not have a scratch disk, I am thinking of shuffling data around to free one HD, but I am not sure I can do that.
Nobody had suggested the memory test, I just read about it, I'll do it few times and report
