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...
- Well, 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.
Thanks 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.

I guess with overheads creating an 8TB LUN would put it over the 8TB limit.
If you need to have llarger LUNs you'd need to get a x86 ReadyNAS.It would be useful if it displayed the maximum space available after taking any overheads in to consideration. If you see something in a shop for £10 it means £10 - not £9.99. I digress.
Apolgies for being thick but you lost me on "If you need to have llarger LUNs you'd need to get a x86 ReadyNAS" ?

However, specify 7.99TB and it works fine!!They should fix that - and they should also generate a clear error message if the size is too large. Silently failing is definitely not nice.
