2020年8月3日 · So that was it. Since I can't activate flexraid on a different setup, it was over. I've been running tests on snapraid and drivepool. All very nice. Elucidate is Great!! Thanks to the developer for that, truly wonderful application. Overall, a better setup than Flexraid, just not in one package. But everything else is nicer this way.

2017年8月23日 · That being the case I'd seriously consider unRAID depending upon your use case. Mine is primarily to store media, as a working directory compressing video, a backup target, and a place for my ISO files for various Linux distro and software installs.

2019年7月18日 · Also, Flexraid is way more faster, you get the speed of the drive you are reading or writing through, on unraid write performance is way more slower because of the real time parity calculation process, on Flexraid you can copy the data …

2019年4月10日 · Contrary to a Netgear KB article on the subject, you cannot switch from FlexRAID to XRAID once you have a vertically expanded volume (even if it was XRAID that did the expansion before you switched). You start by inserting the new, larger drives one at a time and allowing them to re-sync the existing data and OS volumes.

2014年11月25日 · Einmal mit dem Thema RAID vertraut gemacht stellt sich als nächstes die Frage was es mit X-RAID 2, bzw. Flex-RAID auf sich hat. Dies soll in diesem Artikel kurz besprochen werden. Da hier auch teilweise das Hinzufügen, bzw. Entfernen von Festplatten besprochen wird, besteht potentiell die Möglichkei...

2019年3月1日 · Flexraid - allows pooling, drive monitoring and the option to set up a "Landing Disk" that could really help speed up the array. (seems to tick most of my needs) Snapraid + Drivepool - allow pooling, drive monitoring (with Stablebit Scanner), while Snapraid adds in some parity integration.

2019年10月9日 · Interested to know your use case and reasoning for this move, since it's kinda the opposite of what I did (FlexRAID RAID-F to ZFS RAIDZ2). I feel like ZFS is the obvious choice for most use cases, if starting from scratch at least.

2016年5月18日 · IMHO, this makes no sense, as I know of no FlexRAID expansion that's not XRAID compatible unless you've done so outside the GUI via SSH. But it is what it is, and I know of no work-around. I have documented how to do XRAID-like expansion of a FlexRAID volume from SSH: How-to-do-incremental-vertical-expansion-in-FlexRAID-mode.

2012年11月30日 · I am setting up a 2 x 2TB system on my Duo_V1. These will be the end-of-the line for the system, which can take only 2 TB drives. So, no expansion. I am unlikely to move these disks to another Sparc-based ReadyNAS. I am told that Flex-RAID 1 is faster than X-RAID for 2 disk setups. Is there ANY do...

2019年5月29日 · Will XRAID then start expansion of the volume to fill the 4TB drive, or can it be done in FlexRAID? My experiments were with equally sized drives, so I don't know. Even if it does, you'd end up with a very odd configuration: a 1TB single-drive RAID1 and a 3TB single-drive RAID1 on the same drive with a BTRFS file system spanning them.
