Basic setup for volumes
Evening all, did some work and part of the payment was a readynas pro 6. It has 6 disks, 2 were dead so I have (4) seagate 3T disks. I did a factory reset, have networking working, but I can't get ...
If the old disks are showing, then I don't think you did a reset. Perhaps you did an OS reinstall instead?
What firmware are you running? Also what model are the Seagates?
You could update it (if downrev) and then do a factory reset from the main UI. (system->update has a factory default tab on OS 4.x systems).
LOVE active forums! I mayhave done a software reset as you mentioned.
I am using Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 disks.
Firmware is RAIDiator 4.2.26 (I did try the .27 but told the architecture was wrong, so have to re-visit that).
So I did the factory reset which sure enough gave me my setup! Since the 4 are 3T disks I am going with the added 2nd disk protect (as the drives are not 100% new), but appreciate the quick response.
Personally I'd avoid the DM disks (based on user experiences posted here). When the time comes to replace them, I suggest using NAS-purposed drives (Seagate VN line, WDC Red or Red Pro).
Dual redundancy/RAID-6 is good if you can afford to lost the space (and you have 2 free slots for expansion).
