Possible to extend capacity when switching to Flex-RAID?

Hi guys,

I have a RN102 with two 1TB HDD's installed. I configured it during initial setup with X-RAID level 1 making the total storage space 1TB. Now my DATA partition is getting really full and I like to switch to JBOD to expand the storage to the full 2TB (losing parity I know).
Is it possible to switch from X-RAID to Flex-RAID and expand the storage without losing data? Or do I need to perform a factory default?

You would need to destroy the volume, so you would need to backup your data first.

1. Backup your data
2. Verify backup is good
3. Go to Volumes, click on the X-RAID button and confirm you wish to disable X-RAID
4. Select your volume, choose the destroy option and confirm you wish to destroy it
5. Create the volume(s) you want.
