1.On the RAID Information screen, click New.

2.On the RAID Configuration screen, set the RAID storage space as JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 — see Appendix C: RAID Basics for a detailed description of each.

3.Specify a RAID ID.

4.If this RAID volume is meant to be the Master RAID volume, tick the Master RAID checkbox.

NOTE

In a multiple RAID configuration, one RAID volume must be designated as the Master RAID volume. The Master RAID volume will store all installed modules. If the Master RAID is changed to another location (i.e. assigning HDD 2 to be the Master RAID volume after HDD 1 had been previously assigned), then all modules must be reinstalled. In addition, all system folders that were contained on the Master RAID volume will be invisible. Reassigning this volume to be the Master RAID will make these folders visible again.

5.Tick the checkboxes under the “member” heading of the hard disks you wish to use to create a RAID.

6.Specify a stripe size — 64K is the default setting.

7.Specify the percentage allocated for user data. The remaining space will be made available for target USB, iSCSI target.

8.Selected the file system you like to have for this RAID volume.

NOTE

Select ZFS file system while snapshot is needed. It is only one ZFS file system allowed to be created per system.

ZFS file system is only accessible by CIFS/SMB, not for AFP and NFS users.

9. Press Apply to build the RAID storage volume.

NOTE

WARNING

Building a RAID storage space may take time, depending on the size of hard drives and RAID mode.

Creating RAID destroys all data in the current RAID volume. The data is unrecoverable.

With a RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 volume, you can also add a spare disk after the RAID is created. See Chapter 7: Tips and Tricks > Adding a Spare Disk for details.

Expanding a RAID

To expand a RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 volume, follow the steps below:

1.Replace one of the hard drives in the RAID volume and allow it to automatically rebuild.

2.Once rebuilt, you can continue to replace any remaining disks in the RAID array.
