    For a normal rebuild process that is performed when the reserved space is already being used and the second drive fails, a copyback is performed according to the settings of the Copybackless function.

  • Page 35: Figure 17 Copybackless

    If the Copybackless function is enabled, the drive that is replaced with the failed drive cannot be installed in • the prior RAID group configuration. This should be taken into consideration when enabling or disabling the Copybackless function.
