Readynas Duo v2 Getting either bad discs or corrupt root
I had this Duo v2 working with 2 WD 3tb drives on the compatibility list. They were getting close to full so I got 2 WD 4tb discs to trade out the 3tb discs.
I started by removing disc 2 and replacing with a 4tb. The unit would not sync the drive so I tried to put the 3tb back in and it would not sync either.
I tried to do a factory reset and it gave me the error bad discs. I tried to do an OS reinstall and it said corruped root.
I removed the discs and put just one back in slot 1 and tried again. Then I swapped the drives and tried againn with factory default and both said either bad discs on factory default or corrupted root on OS reinstall. What should I try next?

I assume since you've tried a factory reset that you have a backup?
I have another duo v2 with the data.
Hello Gordon-H,
After performing the factory default, if you still experience either error message - Corrupt root, ERR Used Disks, Could not mount Root RAID – there is still a problem with the chassis, hard disks, or the Operating system on the ReadyNAS. I guess it is best you check the disks to isolate the problem. You may use diagnostic tools that the brand name/manufacturer of the disks can offer to check the disks. I saw a discussion where they shared diagnostic tools they use.
