My Ready Nas configured with 5- 6tb Drives. A redligt came on on one of the drives. I replaced the drive, while running. In the past I could see when the drive was removed, but not this time, I was ...
Hey JohnCM_S, as well as all those trying to help-
This whole mess gets messier. The first Disk was one of 2 disks sent to me by Egghead. I got the 2nd today (nightmare) I bought 2 NEW disks online, 1 didn't even have it's antistatic packaging, the other was Marked Refurbished (sad for a 2 NEW disk order), they both went back. While all this was happening (I ORDERED 5 NEW dISKS FROM aMAZON). I trully belive that the new disk 2 was bad, but I will never know as they all went back today!@!
That being said my system as I have said is still up on 4 disks, fully booting, and functioning. I do have backups, but might find it easier making new ones. Once I do, I will replace disk 2, with a 12TB drive (add a 12TB, to the other 6TB drives) and see if this fixes all. I am hoping it will.
Worst case and probably best idea- after this replace all drives and data with 12TB drives, instead of the 6TB(drives) that is in there now!!
Drive 2 is still able to be warranteed, as it is not 5 years old, and I checked it is OK to warantee.
The errors noted on Drive 4, were created by another bad disk from the past, if you look up my old post, it actrually explains, How a bad disk can cause this to happen. However this has not been increasing, except for just recently.
I should be getting my new disks tommorrow, I will keep you posted. Thanks again to all of you for your input.
I am not new at this, and all I wanted was to get my system to resync all 5 drives, even though I am only currently using 4. It cant resync, if drive 2 is showing bad, after formatting it 2 times.
What ReadyNAS model do you have and what firmware are you running?
Was the drive you inserted formatted? (it shouldn't be).
What do you mean when you say you "turned resync on". AFAIK there is no way to do that.
In services under settings resync can be turned on or off
The new disk was not formatted
Volume State is New, and disk state is unknown in configuation
It is a ReadyNas 516 w/5 6TB Drives
Firmware is the latest, this was updated, after the problem
Hi Maxpower411,
In services under settings resync can be turned on or off
The new disk was not formatted
I think what you are referring to here is "Rsync". This is different from the resync process done by the volume.
The replacement disk is also 6TB, right?
You may also download the NAS system logs then provide those to me so we can check. You may upload it to a cloud storage site then send me the download link via private message.
Regards,
Thank You All-

Please Note
The Drive and the network are funtioning fine. However the New Disk, has not tried to resync. I have formatted it twice, and rebooted till,
I am blue in the face But Not Happening. In the past, when I removed a drive, it would see it, and automatically begin resync, but n NOT this time. The disk was marked red. Now all lights on the ReadyNas 516 are green, all I need is the new drive to begin the resync process to join the volume. (it is currently showing offline) How I do this? I am clueless
In the Volume Tab it shows X-Raid with a green stripe
It also shows Data 6.01TB/Snapshots 8.36TB/Free Space 7.43TB /Type Raid5 Volume is degraded
In Overview Tab it shows Correctly 7.43TB free of 21.81TB (5 Disks)
When I goto Volumes on the newly formated disk it allows these OPTIONS: X-Raid (with green stripe),
Format (which I did) and global spare Nothing ElseThe New Disk was a 6 TB Drive, same as all the others.
Thanks again for all your help in advance.
