Readynas NV+, stuck in FS 35%
The NAS has four disks, disk 1&2 (volume 1) disk 3&4 (volume 2). Disk 2 failed so I replaced it with the same disk, Seagate ST31000528AS. Upon insertion of disk 2, it starts to check the file system ...
Hi, thank you for the reply. I also thought that the disk might be bad so I checked it with Seatools and it came back good. I know the drive is old, but supposedly this was old new stock. I have other 1TB drives on hand, like the WD10EZRX to try.

FWIW, I run the long (non-destructive) test, followed by the full erase test. That is because I have had some out-of-the-box drives that passed one of these two tests, but failed the other.
I gave up on the seagate and installed a WD 1TB drive. Now on the raidar the WD shows up with a + inside the icon, which supposedly means the drive is labeled as spare but it did not mount it to the original 2 drive Raid 1 setup. I don't see a way to add it.

What are you seeing in frontview?
Front view shows the drive with a red cross in the circle icon. It also displays that resynch is queued but stay that way for days. Disk 2 led in front keeps blinking away.
