Hi,
Currently i have a 6604 with 4 disks:
- ssd 500GB as volume 0/ volume 1
- hdd 1TB
- hdd 6TB
- htt 3TB
I have discovered that i can use the m2 slots as storage space so im thinking to buy 2x m2 2280 500GB ssd to configure in RAID1. This will contain the ADM system/apps specially my docker containers and some of my files. The other disks will have media stuff for my jellyfin.
Question is, i can't install the new ssds and move my system/apps there, right? i have to go through the initial process and setup up everything?
As for the other disks, keeping them while configuring the new raid is ok? is better to take them out and reinstall after setting up the new raid? will they be available since its a "new" system or do i have to reformat the disks?
Thanks in advance.
Move from single disk to raid1 setup

Re: Move from single disk to raid1 setup
Officially you can't change the volume1 without initializing the system. Also after initializing, you will probably no longer see the the existing disks because the config is lost. Unfortunately this is how the system works and unless you know what you're doing like messing with the terminal commands, we wouldn't recommend you doing this. Every disks even single ones are part of a RAID and there's several partitions on each disk like partition two is for OS, three is for SWAP and four is for data.
