RN2120 advertised storage, iSCSI volume, diagnostics
I've got a RN2120 with 4x 4TB disks loaded. Firmware was updated earlier in the week to 6.9.3. RAIDar finds it OK, tells me everything is fine and the available Diagnostics complete without error. I c...
- Apr 26, 2018Well, the Admin page told me that I had 8TB to use but every time I tried to create an 8TB LUN, absolutely nothing happened. However, specify 7.99TB and it works fine!! The interface software tells lies.

The max LUN size for the RN2120 is in fact 8 TB. See page 85 of the software manual: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/READYNAS_OS_6_SM_EN.pdf

Thanks for the info. A bit of a drawback but maybe it will be overcome one day. If I go through the process and create an 8TB LUN, do you have any idea why it doesn't show up on the Admin/iSCSI page?

- Moggyman49Apr 25, 2018AspirantThanks anyway. Maybe someone else will pick this up and offer some advice. I can't think what its problem is. I did a factory reset earlier in the week and there are no obvious error messages that I can see. I've got another RN2120 with the same kind of configuration I'm trying to apply to this 'new' box and that one was set up with no trouble. Very odd.
