Readynas NV+ Problem
Hi guys, I recent had a problem with my readynas NV+.(4xWD 2TB) two weeks ago I had a power cut. after power back, I turned on the nas, on front panel it showed 'kernel panic', couldn't access in...
Thanks. I just had a time to test the new disk again via lifegurad.
tird both quick and extended test both failed as too many errors. does mean it is a faulty disk? but when i first runned the quick test a few days ago, it did pass. so i am not sure it is the faulty one of nas ruined it?

Yes. The NAS didn't ruin it. The quick test isn't enough to test the drive.
Exchange it with the seller, as Western Digital will give you a recertified replacement (not a new drive).
- i have swapped a seagate ironwolf. but forgot to export the log before putting it in. now it starts sync and again i cannot access raider and frontview. i guess i will be patient this time to wait a few more days.
how long it supposes to be to sync 2TB disk? the other 2TBx3 disks are almost full.

It's been a long time since I needed to sync on my NV+, so I don't recall how long.
But it syncs every sector (whether full or empty). The process involves 8 TB of disk i/o, so it can take a while.
You should see some progress with RAIDar (hover the mouse over the disks or volume) - so maybe try that if you can't access frontview yet.
- but i can't access the raidar either

- yes i know. raidar cannot find nas.
yes, i can ping it.
no progress on panel. just shows disk 4 sync.

It's been 2 days? It normally doesn't take that long, and normally you can access frontview during the process. I am wondering if you are running into issues with one of the other disks.
You could wait a bit longer I guess.
I suggested a backup earlier - do you have one?
No. no back up. no very important data. so it's ok.
nas runs well with other 3 disks, once insert 4th one, it's unaccessable. but single 4th disk runs well.
so, i don't get it now. do you suggest wait or check all disks and do a fully factory reset?

Not much point in waiting longer. I'd start by checking all the disks (using the long read test), since I don't think we're ruled out an issue on them.
It's also possible that it's a failing PSU (unable to power all four disks adequately). Though it might also be a memory issue that is only showing up during the resync. Might be worth running the memory test from the boot menu if the disks check out.
