Read the 343 guide. I was able to repartition (realign) and put 2 2TB EARS back into RAID 1.

I don't think the alignment is the only issue, it's also the deep recovery procedure when it occurs.

+1, even better .. alignment isn't an issue for the DNS-321, if anyone needed an alignment to get the drive working then either the DNS firmware is malfunctioning or the HDD is problematic.

I wasn't sure if the version of Linux on the DNS-321 was updated to support the new structure, but I am sure that the real issue is the deep recovery procedure. :)

Dlink does not support 4k drives in their units. However, I managed to format manually. Here's how I did it: http://www.consumedconsumer.org/2010/06/upgrading-my-dns-323-to-2-x-2-tb-ii_08.html
