Reallocated Sector Alerts disabled in RAIDiator 4.2.22?
I upgraded two ReadyNAS 3200's to RAIDiator 4.2.22 about 3 months ago. I have been using the Status->Logs section of FrontView to monitor Reallocated Sector changes on drives in these units. Sinc...
Not yet, but I guess I'll have to do that. These are storage units in a production environment, so that's no simple task.
Couple points here:
1.) I opened a ticket on this and the tech's response was the same: "Try different firmware versions and see if the alerts start working again". :? Not trying to be a dick, but I'm not interested in doing NetGear's QA. It is disappointing to upgrade firmware to resolve issues and to find out I have to be watching for NEW issues. Also, how do I know I won't introduce even more issues by upgrading?
2.) We've had to replace the chassis on 2 of the 3 units we have in the last year (that's the entire unit minus the drives). I don't know if that's due to actual hardware issues, or if that's the default response when the troubleshooting hits a certain point.
3.) We've seen reoccurring network stability issues that have been unresolved following multiple tickets and many hours of troubleshooting and reconfiguration. Just talked to a tech who mentioned potential issues caused by upgrading firmware without a full volume rebuild. Apparently the older version firmware used a different partition table. Maybe we've got some nasty base level configuration or filesystem issues in these units and that's causing our issues...
Based off my experience with their products I do NOT recommend NetGear storage products.
