Hey,

I'm wondering about how NASLite+ handles the attached hard disks? Does it use RAID/JBOD?

I'm currently having 2 free disks for usage with NASLite+ but i'm planning on buying 2 more. Will i be able to add the new disks and expand storage or i'll have to lose data and configure again my new 2+2 storage?

Warm regards,
Titanas

It treats each disk as an individual unit, so you have DISK-1, DISK-2, etc.

No raid in the current version.

If you start with 2 disks and add 2 more later it should work fine. You will just have to configure the 2 new disks when you add them in. Then you will have Disk-1 to Disk-4.

You won't lose any data when you add in new disks.

thanks for the quick answer smeyer. Do you know if other OSes, let's say Windows, see the 4 individuals disks as one storage area or as 4 seperate disks?

warm regards,

Other OSes See them as 4 individual disks ie

Code:
NASLITE
|-----Disk-1
..........|----Sub Directory1
..........|----Sub Directory2 etc
|-----Disk-2
..........|----Sub Directory1
..........|----Sub Directory2 etc
|-----Disk-3
..........|----Sub Directory1
..........|----Sub Directory2 etc
|-----Disk-4
..........|----Sub Directory1
..........|----Sub Directory2 etc

Hope the (bad) ascii art helps...

Or at least the image

The additional "disks" folder is a repeat of the folders above but they are a read only version
