Change to a Different Flex-RAID Format
Flex-RAID offers you several different disk formats, depending on the number of disks
installed in your ReadyNAS storage system. For more information, see
page 20.
You can reconfigure your system to use a different Flex-RAID format.

To change Flex-RAID disk formatting:
1. If any data is stored on your system, back up your data.
For more information, see the
page 80.
2. Perform a factory reset reboot.
WARNING!
Setting your ReadyNAS system to its factory defaults erases all
data and configuration settings.
