Dead Disk.. but not really
Does anybody have the same problem? So far this has happened twice to me: brand new Ultra6. I get the message that Disk1 (also brand new, no SMART errors etc) is dead (out of 4 disks with dual redu...
I'm having a similar problem with my ReadyNas Duo. Disk 1 Seagate ST31000333AS is reported as dead but is, in fact, working fine, i.e, I can find it on my network and access all files. I have recently replaced what I think was a truly dead Disk 2. My problem is that, because Disk 1 is deemed to dead, configuring Raid is not an option - Resync volume is greyed out and "Status: Not redundant. A disk failure will render this volume dead" is reported.
I have tried replacing Disk 1 with both the old and new Disk 2 but then I can't access the Nas on my network. Only when I put the supposedly dead Disk 1 back in the Nas can I access the files but I still can't configure Raid. As far as I can see, my new Disk 2 is sat doing nothing and all will be lost when Disk 1 really does die!
Can anyone help?
