Jbod, individual drives

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud EX4
1

Hello all,

I have a Western Digital My Cloud EX4. All drives are jbods,

I have put one drive at a time into slot 1 and created shares, and subsequently transferred files to it. I have done so to be able to track the size of each drive, and have folders with different contents on each drive.
When i power up the unit, I get the message “RAID ROAMING, this volume is roaming from another WD My Cloud (not created on this system) …Click OK to integrate it, if you do not integrate it, you risk loosing your data if your volume becomes degraded”

Now I wonder:

  1. if I integrate all drives, what happens to my Jbod configuration?
  2. what happens with my shares? Will they be affected and dissapear?
  3. Will all volumes merge into one? I have chosen to do what I did to keep track on each individual drive, whats on it, and how much.

Thanks in advance.

backup your raid before making changes.
