Normally you'd need 3 disks of the largest size to go to dual redundancy (at least that's the case if you don't want to waste space).  So your 6 TB drive might be getting in the way here.

 

I don't know of any way to fix this in Frontview, apart from doing a reset.

      Yes you can.  Hopefully that will restore the dual-redundancy option.

       

      If you do need to do a factory reset, you could take the opportunity to convert the NAS to run OS-6.

        I just relized that I made a mistake, i dont have 6tb disk in my nas, i have four 4tb drives and one 2tb drive. Does it make any difference now?

        Still last option is to replace that 2tb drive with 4tb?

         

        Thanks
