Its purpose is strictly for backup, so if it goes poof, then I just replace the drives and re-copy from the source. Back to my original problem, I discovered that apparently the two drives are really in RAID0, although Synology Assistant has me totally confused. Under 'Storage Pools' it says that there is a 29.1TB RAID0, but at the same time it says that 16TB of it has been used. How can that be? The two drives are brand new and the only thing on them are whatever nominal overhead Synology Assistant installed. Personally, I find Synology Assistant hopelessly unintuitive. _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
