ReadyNas 214 adding 10Tb disk to 2 x 6Tb existing - single volume?
Hi - I've finally arrived at maxing my current RAID-0, 2 x 6Tb drives. I'd like to simply add another 10Tb drive to the volume - to arrive at 22Tb storage. I'm not concerned about redundancy or pe...
OK - so it looks like this Group concatenation seems to work with JBOD on different sized disks (albeit given a warning re: performance).
I have added the 10Tb drive, created a volume for it, then added the 1Tb drive - and used the "Add group" function. The result is both drives accessed from a single volume and therefore share - which is just what I want.
To get me where I need to be - I think I have to destroy my temporary volume, then destroy the RAID-0 setup - and then rebuild all as JBOD adding each to the volume via the group approach.
Do I need a hardware reset - or can I just destroy each volume?
It seems my continued experimentation has finally allowed me to do what I intended. Clicking on the original volume, then clicking on my freshly destroyed 10Tb disk - allowed me to add it via a concatenated group. So we add a new disk to a pair of RAID-0 disks.
See below:
Odd that it only let you do that with a destroyed volume and not a fresh drive. Those would seem to be the same situation. Might be a bug.
But, it worked out for you without having to restore the old data, so bravo! and thanks for the info. Now I don't have to run the experiments.
