Moving from NAS4Free to Duo v2
Hi to all, As you can see, I already have home made NAS server (NAS4Free), and today I bought ReadyNAS Duo v2. I have two disks in Raid 1, so my question is how to transfer those disks into Duo v2....
That's possible. If you use the default X-RAID2 (assuming this is a Duo v2: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/) when you add the second disk it would sync the disks sector by sector to setup the RAID.
I would suggest using new disks though.
If you do choose to use your old disks I'd suggest you connect the disk to an internal SATA port in your PC and delete the partitions off it (but do not format it). The NAS will format the drive. Hot-add (add while NAS is on) the second disk and it will be wiped and added to the array.
