ReadyNAS NV+ lockups
I have an NV+ with the latest firmware (4.1.8) and 4 2TB WD Green SATA II hard drives (WD20EARS) in an X-RAID configuration. I primarily use the NAS to store movies, music, and TV shows that everybod...
So the new WD20EARS came and popped it in. I noticed that there are numbers after the model number which apparently indicate firmware versions, etc, and the new drive wasn't the same as the old drives. I still had nothing but problems and lockups. I ended up pulling the drive out and the NAS worked fine. I RMAed original drive and got an identical one back. It locked up a couple of times while re-synching the volume, but after the last reboot, it's been stable for several days.
I wish the firmware did a better job of reporting the errors. It's kind of crappy that the whole unit takes a crap and locks up and that's how you know a drive is failing. The underlying OS should remain stable and report what's going on.
