4.2.4 Virtual Disk
The Virtual Disk (VD) is based on the iSCSI technology, making it the stack master, and
it can connect to other stack targets. With the VD, the capacity of the turbo NAS can
be expanded and used as the system disk volume(s). In addition, disk shared folders can
be created and used for data exchange, storage and backup, just like the local disk
shared folders.
Supported file systems:
Format: Ext3, Ext4, FAT, NTFS, and HFS+.
Mount: Ext3, Ext4, FAT, NTFS, and HFS+.
Note:
The maximum size of a virtual disk supported by the NAS is 16TB.
When the virtual disk (iSCSI target) was disconnected, the virtual disk will
disappear on the UI, and the NAS will try to connect to the target in two minutes.
If the target cannot be connected after two minutes, the status of the virtual disk
will become “Disconnected”.
Each virtual disk drive will be recognized as a single logical volume in the local
system.
This function is only applicable to some models. To check for applicable models,
please refer to the product comparison table on the QNAP website.
To add a virtual disk to the NAS, follow the steps below:
1. Make sure an iSCSI target has been created. Click “Add Virtual Disk”.
