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 can login to it OK and all seems well. However, maybe it isn't configured correctly or there is some other issue because.......
1. In the iSCSI screen I can create a group but when I try and create a new LUN it reports that the max size available is just 8TB. I would expect that if I only had 3 drives but I have 4 of them.
2. No matter what LUN I create, it doesn't actually seem to get created. Well, nothing is ever displayed put it that way!
Could this be down to a setting I've missed, a drive reporting that it's healthy when it isn't? Are there any proper system diagnostics tools around?
Thanks in advance
- 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.

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?
