You can continue to use your ReadyNAS system while the extra disks are incorporated in the background. The
process of increasing data protection can take several hours. If you set up email notifications for your system,
you receive an email message when the process finishes. For more information about alert notifications, see

 on page 158.

This section covers volume maintenance. Volumes can be scrubbed to check for errors, defragmented to improve
disk performance, and balanced to use space more efficently and speed allocation of new chunks.

Scrubbing cleans and validates all data on a volume and checks the volume for errors. No data is deleted. Folders,
LUNs, and snapshots on the volume remain intact.

Scrubbing is not an erase function.

Log in to your ReadyNAS.

Select System > Volumes.
