New drive - Volume degraded
Hi, I have had a RN102 with a 3TB Segate drive working happily for several years. I recently added a 3TB WD Red drive, so that I have redundancy protection. ON power up, it starts to synchronise but...
you have swapped the drives around and that would damage the original volume/array.
now u need to have a factory reset with 2 drives in bay1 and 2. they will resync in raid 1 and you copy data to the new array from your backup.
Thanks for the reply, cpu8088.
Before I do something silly and loose any data, I need to:
- Backup, by existing Shares using the 'Backup' tab.
- Reset factory defaults - How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS
- Alloy to resync
- Restore data from backup
Is that right?
Thanks.
