Hi
I have got raid 1 with 2 disks in my F4-210 and want to go to Raid 5. I have added 2 more disks but
When I go to edit the storage pool it only stays at raid 1 and no option to change.
Please can you advise me how to do it .
Thanks
mwa

Also... The two empty disks are showing when I edit the pool but if I try to select both of them in my attempt to migrate from raid 1 to raid 5, a message pops up and says "You can only select one disk."

you can only select one disk at a time, migrat you raid with one drive and then another drive. you just can't do it once with two drives.

Yes I figured that out already. My problem now is the first part of my yquestion. The system does not show an noption to go to RAID 5. It stays at RAID 1.

OK nevermind... Since there were no other options available, I went ahead and confirmed the migration on setting of RAID 1. After that, the system displayed a migration process to RAID 5. It would be helpful if the menu screen would display a short phrase explaining that. (this will convert your pool to raid 5).
