For a couple months I've been working on replacing my DS216j which has two 8TB WD Red drives in RAID0. The drives are pushing five years old, so I bought two new Toshiba 16TB drives. My initial plan was to use them in the DS216j, also as RAID0 (32TB), but after installing them I discovered that the DS216j has a maximum volume size of 16TB, thus Synology Assistant set the two drives up as RAID1.
After expelling a number of select words, I decided that I had no choice but to replace the DS216j, so I bought a new DS220+, which arrove today. It is now sitting across the room with all its little lights running and Synology Assistant found it. Unfortunately, when the new drives were in the DS216j my attempts that resulted in RAID1 remained on the drives, so now that they are in the DS220+ the Synology Assistant helpfully gave me no option but to save my configuration. But that is not what I want. I want to wipe the drives and start over so I can end up with a 32TB RAID0 volume. I've poked all over Synology Assistant, but I can't find any way to accomplish that. Can someone give me some clues? _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
