I am adding a (5) drive RAID 6 storage pool via a new DX517 unit I have added to an existing DS1817+ NAS. The storage pools are stand-alone so that the drives do not span across the devices. About 1/2 way through the 40-hour "optimizing in the background" process for the new...
For example, when setting it up with a few large hard drives, you’ll note that the server takes a long time to finish “optimizing” the RAID. Specifically, the process, which can’t be canceled, took about a day for my three 8TB hard drives in an SHR setup, during which the ser...
I have a RS816 with 1storage pool and 1 iSCSI target, which is using all the allowed space. I'm replacing the hard drives with larger ones, one by one. I've just replaced the third hard drive and the storage pool is optimizing in the background. When all the 4 disks will be repl...
While the server is functioning, we need to create a place to store data. The Storage Pool is the total capacity of the physical hard disks. The Volume is a scalable “partition” that holds data. A Storage Pool can hold multiple volumes. NOTE: At this point, I re-inserted my previousl...
