Use the Volume Management Wizard to Create a Volume
Normally ReadyNAS OS automatically formats all of the disks in a ReadyNAS storage
system. However, when you are adding disks or destroying existing volumes, you can
use the volume management wizard to create volumes on all units.
Unlike other ReadyNAS storage systems, when you first configure an RR4360, the volume
management wizard starts automatically.
To create a volume with the volume management wizard:
1. Log in to the ReadyNAS.
2. Select System > Volumes.
3. Select the disks to include in the new volume.
4. Click the New Volume button.
5. Enter a name.
6. Leave the protection level as selected by ReadyNAS OS, or change it.
The graphic shows the balance of capacity, performance, and reliabilty for the
selected protection level and number of disks. As you change the RAID level, the
graphic updates to show the changed balance.
