Readynas duo nv+ v2 failed disk and no boot
Hi
I have I think found that disk 4 (of 4) has failed. I found it making that known noise of disk failure, wouldnt reboot, tried again, removed disks checked it would come up with no disks.
Using sea tools, checked all 4 and disk 4 failed long test (thought I had a problem, with this a while back as NAS reporting faults but passed tests, was in warranty then).
But I cannot remember how to replace the disk if it wont boot, is it a case of just changing disk 4 for new(hopefully it is that one causing the fault) adn then let it boot(hopefully) and rebuild?
Thanks

Try booting the system w/o no disk 4, and see if it then boots.
If it does, then hot-insert the replacement disk. It should then resync.
If it doesn't, then you should test all remaining the disks with seatools.
- Thanks
It has booted at least looks normal, should I be able to access the volume when a disk has failed and dead?
Just got to wait on delivery for drive tomorrow and plug in and hope for the best.
