ReadNAS Duo v2 HDD missing

Hello, I have a ready nas here that is giving me some trouble. When I log into the web console it seems that one HDD is not being read by the device, drive #2. On the physical device its self, there are two HDD status lights, one is solid (#1), the other is blinking slowly(#2).

I have several nfs shares configured on this device, when I logged into the NAS via ssh to view the contents of the shares, I noticed that there are folders missing. I have confirmation that multiple backups were made to the device.

Thanks in advance.

  • Could you tell us how your NAS is setup, are you running xraid or raid1, or are you running 2 separate volumes on separate disks, ie a non-redundant volume.

    What firmware are you running?
    Do you have another copy of the data on the NAS?
    Have you received any error messages about disks recently?
    Can you read the smart information from the disks?
    If the smart info is ok, I would suggest powering down and testing the disks using vendor tools.

    The backups you refer to: why do you think is relevant to your problem?
