> If you read the first post i made, My issue was that TOS 5 was not recognizing 3 HDDs, only 2, this is why i had to make the raid 5 in tos 4.2.
If you had 2 disks available in TOS, it's impossible you've created a RAID5 array, because that needs a minimum of 3 disks.
You're aware you need to 'initialize' the disks (Format them in another device) if you install TOS?
> Why did TOS 5 change my raid 5 into Traid? Is that a so called "feature" or a bug?
It can't change your RAID array, it removed your RAID array and created a TRAID which is the behaviour on default install.
I> f i attempt are Storage pool delete and maybe 3 hdd are recognized now , can you confirm that raid 5 is an option?
Why cant i change the raid now? Also why is the Edit button greyed on on the storage poll?
I look forward to your answers to all my questions. Thanks.
You can't change a RAID type afterwards if you're on RAID5.
