Did you unformat it first? If it was from another ReadyNAS, the system might have gotten confused.
Not sure what to make of the issue with slot 38, but the best solution for slot 39 is to hot-insert a blank (unformatted) disk. Alternatively, format it as NTFS. Then hot-insert it, and format it again from the NAS volume page.
OK, after sync is complete. reformat the drive externally (NTFS) , pull the failing drive from slot 39, Insert the newly re-formated drive in its place. Will the NAS prompt me to format the drive?
After the volume re-syncs i think i will reseat the drive in slot 38? is that a safe plan?
Note: this replacement drive was previously part of a raid 6 array on a synology NAS that died. it is the same drive as we have in the readynas.
