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...
just an update
a) Support is looking at it;
b) my guess is that with my version of firmware, after a scheduled reboot NAS will read the SMART test (which in may case(s) was OK), and on that bases it will start a resynch (this may be the "normal" design procedure anyhow, I would not know).
This would explain why :
i) when I discovered the 19 May fault, it started resynch immediately (I stopped it);
ii) there was a previous fault, 3 March: that went unnoticed because of no alerts, but after the next scheduled reboot, NAS resynched and it was back with a redundant volume; had it not been the case, the 19 May fault would have destroyed the volume;
c) I managed to download the full logs (previously the download button did not work, browser issues, I guess). NAS reports quite a few HD issues, why Seatools did not? (is the "command line" version of Seatools for DOS more severe / configurable than the GUI (I only used that one).
Thanks again for your help
p.s. kind of confused by mail alerts: I configured NAS, it works, I also configured Acronis Disk Monitor to do the same, tried to copy the same settings, but it needs a different port (587 not 465) on both netbook and the Athlon 64 pc (both XP)... is this as expected?
