ReadyNAS Duo v1 boot fail into "Volume scan found and corrected errors"
This is a ReadyNAS Duo v1
-Bootup via Power Timer, as usual, no errors reported or emailed to me -First use of NAS was to stream music to a mobile device. Done it many times, no issues. This tim...
I wouldn't be concerned about lp stat events.
A volume scan is a reasonable idea, though I'd suggest making a backup (or updating it if needed) first.

I have been using WD Red 2TB WD20EFRX, which I know quite a few owners have used.
I have one installed in my Duo v1 (the other disk is an old Seagate).

Apart from blue LED and disk1/2 green LEDs (all steady) there is no sign of activity at all.
What I am unsure of is if that is normal during a resync, is that something you can advise on?
It's been a while since I've done a resync in a v1 NAS, and I don't recall if there are blinking LEDs. Normally you do see progress in RAIDar or the web ui when you hover over the volume or disk icons.

-Try powering up with just Disk1 in place and see if I can connect to shares/data (if so thinking that drive is good, just not redundant)
That is worth a try. You can also connect disk 1 to a Windows PC (USB is ok) and see if you can offload data with R-linux for Windows https://www.r-studio.com/free-linux-recovery/Download.shtml#win

Undecided if I should do that hot or not.
I recommend hot insertion,

One aspect I don't follow at all, regarding shares, users etc is where that information is held. Is it somehow held in the file structure, or is it stored some other way, protected unless a system reset is performed?
The disks have a 2 GB OS partition that holds Linux, the ReadyNAS application, and the system configuration. This information is mirrored on all disks (two in your case), allowing the system to boot from any (healthy) disk.
Thanks once more StephenB.
With no front LED action, nor the ability to launch Frontview, I suspect it’s hung right now.
I might give it a little longer this evening, then pull Disk2 after a power down. Wondering if that disk has suddenly reached a stage where the sync cannot work, and the system has responded badly to that perhaps.
This just in...its alive, well half of it says so.
With no hints that anything was happening I managed to power down via front panel.
Pulled Disk2, restarted with an immediate change in LED behaviour.
Power LED, steady blinking, Disk activity LED fast flashing. Disk1 LED on, Disk2 LED slow flashing.
After about 45 mins, system up and accessible.
Disk1 showing no reallocations.
Here’s hoping a new Disk2 moves things along tomorrow....:smileyhappy:
Hopefully concluding this one now. Replacement disk synced up with no errors. No adverse log/SMART issues I can see.
Interestingly I hooked up the drive to a PC and tried the WD tools. It could see the drive, picked up on the allocation errors, but when I tried the repair option it was no go.
I've decided to leave the original Disk1 in place, if it's not broke etc. Also got a new spare 2TB WD Red, just in case.
Thanks for all your help StephenB
