NSA325 RAID1 disk replacement

Mijzelf

I think a 325 can do 30-50MB/sec while recovering. So that will be 6-10 hours per TB.

One more question though. The new volume has a different name from the original. I still have all the shares from the original setup not pointing to nowhere. I failed to remove them from the webui shares screen (Delete share). Is there a way to get rid of them? I found the definitions in /etc/zyxel/conf/startup-config.conf and also in startup-config.conf.xml. Is it safe to remove them from these config files? Will it remove them?  (I want to reuse the share names and as it is now, I cannot)

Do you have a reason not to do a factory reset?

seniorsamu

I guess I could do that. Othar than the passwords no information would be lost.

I assume, the data in the RAID1 is kept across factory reset.

Your assumption is right.

It turned out, there was no need to factory reset the system. I misunderstood the share deletion options and assumed that the first option (I only want to disable ...) is for deleting the share without deleting the underlying file structure, whereas the second (I want to permanently delete ...) is to delete the share and the file structure as well. Since there was no filestructure to be kept (the old shares pointed to nonexistent folders), I saw no risk trying to do the permanent deletion and it actually was working as expected. 
Now, everything looks and works as I intended. 

Thanks for all the help and information!
