I wiped out the existing raid5 array to create a jbod span of 10tb in order to hold my 9tb of backups. The Thecus has had a hissy fit and I've had to set the process off again, so you can bet it'll be a day or two before it get's the drives formatted (it's not a very powerful nas), then I'll do the backups, then I'll try as you suggested.
