We cannot make this conversion, sorry. the only way is backup, delete the volume and create a new one.

Is this possible if so how. I will first pull all 4 of the disks from the Thunderbay 4 and certify the 4 new ones. Then will replace the 3 RAID 5 disks with the new certified disks.   At this point I am at a loss as to how to convert to 1+0 as well as making the size to take up only the 1st 40% of the new disks.   Current 3 - 4tb disks will replace with 4 - 14tb disks 

hope this makes sense and thank you
