Disk test will not stop.
I have a ReadyNas 516 with 6 8TB drives. I started getting errors on the Raid-5 volume with one of the drives started having ATA errors... Disk: Detected increasing reallocated sector count: [333...
The disk test finished this morning July 14th, 2025 at 3:18am. The NAS device seems back to normal now. There is no report for the Disk test if there were error or anything else with the volume or disks.
I suggest downloading the full log zip, and looking in there for errors. This sounds like something is in fact wrong, While it could be disk 6, there could be something else going on.
What model disks are you using?
I'm not going to try a disk test again.... Ever.
FWIW, I run them every 4 months on my own NAS. (My approach is to scheduled one maintenance task per month for each volume, so I cycle through all the tests 3x a year.)
