X-RAID and access to data if box fails
I've had 2 Ultra 2 Plus boxes break on me in 4 years. The first time round I put one of the disks in a USB and got the data off as it was basically mirrored. Now I've had the second failure and it'...

To add some more information... To do this, insert two disks in the initial install. then switch from xraid to flexraid.
Then install the remaining two disks, and you will have an option to add a second volume.
OK, that sounds safer to me than using X-RAID. BTW, I gather the new disk format is not the same as the old, so in the event of a box failure, how accessible is the data from a single disk and what file system does it use?
