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 was looking at the log before contacting Support.
Guess what?
I had another disk failure on the 3rd of march (monday). I was away, and as the email alerts weren't working, I never knew.
Because my NAS was somewhat "unreliable", months ago I set up a reboot schedule once a week (off on sundays between 5 and 6am).
So, Sunday 9 March, NAS rebooted itself and started re-synching (I am slightly confused about this. you said that resynching can only happen when a volume is redundant - otherwise it will be a "Volume Scan").
The log says:
Mon Mar 3 12:05:44 PST 2014 Disk failure detected
(btw - which disk? log does not say)
Sun Mar 9 05:00:19 PDT 2014 System power-on scheduled for 03/09/2014 06:00
Sun Mar 9 06:01:23 PDT 2014 Data volume will be rebuilt with disk 2.
Sun Mar 9 06:02:12 PDT 2014 System is up.
Sun Mar 9 06:03:14 PDT 2014 RAID sync started on volume C.
Mon Mar 10 14:16:24 PDT 2014 RAID sync finished on volume C.
Sun Mar 16 05:00:19 PDT 2014 System power-on scheduled for 03/16/2014 06:00
Sun Mar 16 06:02:04 PDT 2014 System is up.
.......
then it continued as usual with the "power-on " events
As I said I was not at home, I was only back Monday 18 May, and totally unaware of any NAS issues. On 21 May I had the issue with the NAS "cannot save, not enough space on disk) I looked at the NAS Dashboard and discovered the fault which had occurred the day before (the log page is full of the power-on events, so I never really scrolled down and saw the 3 March fault).

Wed May 21 11:59:37 PDT 2014 Data volume will be rebuilt with disk 1.
Wed May 21 12:00:50 PDT 2014 System is up.
Note that for the 3 march fault, after the 9 March reboot the log says "Data volume will be rebuilt with disk 2.", while for the 19 May event, on the 21st (after my reboot), the log says "Data volume will be rebuilt with disk 1." Does that mean that the disk which failed on 3 march was disk 2? and recovered? if so, right now i have a disk 3 failure..... what's going on?
