Hello,

i wonder if is it possible to create a RAID5 using all 5 disks, with 3 TB each one.
I have installed firmware 16.0 on my 5bigNas2. I have marked as "fd00" type these disks: sdb2, sdc2,sdd2 and sde2. But I want to include sda8 (2,7 TB partiton)
All sdb2, sdc2, sdd2, sde2 have 2,7 TB also

I noticed that /dev/sda8 mounts on every boot as /share/1000
Is it possible to add this partition to the ARRAY schema?

Hi trosdejos
:shocked Please to read the raid tutos in the download forum and follow exactly these tutos.

When we go to include raid management in the webGUI, only raid built by these way will be handled by the firmware.

So first you need to clean your custom partition table on sd[bcde] :mrgreen:
