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.
Hi Maxpower411,
I see errors on disk slot 2. This could be an issue on the disk or an issue with the bay itself.

You may want to check the health of the replacement disk using the disk manufacturer's tool.
Another option is If you have a spare disk, you can try removing first all the disks (label the disks with their corresponding bay before removing them), then insert only the spare disk to slot 2 and see if it will detect it and allow you to create a volume.
I also see some warning of increasing command time outs on disk 4
[21/02/13 19:49:10 EST] warning:disk:LOGMSG_SMART_CMD_TIMEOUT_WARN Detected high command timeouts: [196] on disk 4 (Internal) [ST6000NE0021-2EN11C, ZA16JSPT]. This condition often indicates an impending failure. Be prepared to replace this disk to maintain data redundancy.

Well the final Outcome is Here, got my new Disks 12TB Seagates (5 year Warr Type) Changed out Disk 2, and lo and Behold:
Resync Started, and Now Disk 2 will join my Volume as it is Supposed. Thanks to you all for your help again. I am seeing Disk 4
move forward with its count and probably will eventually redo the entire system with 12TB drives. (it seems that Disk 4 could be a problem child as well, but not the cause of the problem. The Problem was with me trusting the vendor, and not checking Disk 2, just because it was new. NEW means untested, not the answer to your problems.
You need to have at least 2 of the 12TB in your NAS, otherwise it'll be limited to the small HDD sizes. I assume it has to do if your 1 larger drive dies, there's no other drive that large to restore the system back. So just a warning. It finishes resyncing and you're wondering where all the rest of your 12TB went!!! So once it's done Resyncing, and you're only using one, pull another smaller drive out and pop in another 12TB drive and then the NAS will use all the space.
If you're already have at least 2 installed, then you're all good. The NAS also won't allow you to install a smaller HDD. It has to be at least the same size or larger. So you can expand UP, you just can't go back down after that. Well you could, you would have to lose all your data and pop back in your smaller HDD's. Well at least 2, let it built it's raid 1 system, and then you can pop in some more same size or go larger, which is back to where you were. Going from smaller to larger.
