Volumes Name Conflict (error code 1014020000)
Hiello,
I'm running 3 x RAID1 Volumes on a RN31600.
I needed to upgrade one of the Volume (DISK_1) to a bigger capacity but don't want to "Destroy" the volume in case something goes wrong in my backup and I need to reinstall the volume again.
I made a backup of "DISK_1" on an external USB, removed the 2 disks belonging to the RAID1 volume "DISK_1" , plugged in 2 new disk with a bigger capacity and format them.
In order to keep our worflow running smoothly I wish to re-use the name "DISK_1" for the new RAID1 volume. Unfortunatelly I got a error code 1014020000 " A Volume with the specified name already exist in the system" when trying to assign the name "DISK_1" to a new RAID1 Volume.
Is there anyway I can re-use a volume name without destroying the previous volume?

insert back the 2 drives (disk 1) and then destroy the volume
then u can hot unplug the 2 drives and insert 2 new drives.
with the 2 new drives in place then select them and create a new volume with raid 1 assigning the volume name as "disk 1". thereafter create shares and copy files from external hard drives to respective shares.
this of course done in flexi raid mode.
naming disk 1 disk 2 etc not appropriate. use array 1, array 2 or volume1 volume 2...
I use "data" for the first and "data2" for the second. Not very imaginative I guess.
However, "data" for the first is intentional. It ensures that any apps that hard-code the default volume name will install and work properly. That would be a bug/flaw in the app of course, but I see no reason to ask for trouble there.
