readynas nv+ green disk LED no longer lights up
One of the green disk LED no longer lights up on a readynas NV+. What are my options? Disk is fine and present in that slot.
Usually this is an indication of a disk failure, if the disk appears and shows healthy then I would want to check that with more than just those two indicators.
Do you have RAIDar on a machine that is local to the NAS?
If you do, make sure to check the indicators in RAIDar.
I would also go to Status > Logs > Download All Logs (in the upper right hand corner). Once downloaded you can extract them and look at the Disk_smart logs, there should be a bunch of them that have dates (depending on how long the NAS has been online) and then one that just reads "disk_smart.log". The last mentioned would be the one I would want to check for any reallocated sectors or ATA errors. Please post back what you find.
If you are not sure how to interpret the logs, you can send them to me or post them here for further analysis.
