resinch a dieing disk or add new disk & resinch?
Apologies again. I posted the same message in the "Test" board, and got complete unnoticed / unseen. As it is rather urgent, I am re-posting it here, where I hope it will be seen. I could not find a b...
I probably wouldn't run the destructive test on HD4, since there is no reason to think it has failed.
If HD1 was partially synced, then I would certainly put HD4 into slot 1 and re-establish redundancy. HD1 is still perhaps questionable, and you don't want that resync to fail.
Then I'd put HD1 into slot 4.
On option 2, the NAS would fully sync one disk at a time. I see no point to steps (c) and (d). Adding one disk at a time and waiting for completion is safer, as you are always clearly aware of what the NAS is trying to do.
BTW, there is no benefit in trying to order disks by age, and over time it is not sustainable anyway.
