RN316 - Corrupt Files
Not sure this got posted. I can't seem to find ir. Two 316 ReadyNAS boxes. One Producrion, One Backup. Same firmware: 6.10.2 Prod box has WD Red Pro 6 6TB drives. Backup Box has WD Red 6TB dr...
I've tested all 6 disks with Lifeguard (Extended Test).
All passed.
Placed them back in the 316 and did a factory default. Copied a folder that had corrupt files on the Backup 316. All files copied okay. Kernel log doesn't show any BTRFS errors.
I would imagine things are fine. Now I'll wait 24 hours while the 316 resyncs zero data,

After you restore the data, I suggest setting up a maintenance schedule using the volume settings wheel. Personally I run each option (disk test, scrub, balance, and defrag ) once every three months - spacing them out over the quarter. The timing is a bit arbitrary, though I don't recommend doing scrubs more frequently than that.
Hi Stephen, Good idea. I must admit I've been neglecting those things.
So far I'm at 50% resynced.
One thing I tried that did not work was I did the first factory default using a scratch disk. After that I replaced the 6 original disks after a power down. After that I copied some good files to the factory defaulted NAS. They copied as corrupt once again. So then I did a factory default with all 6 disks, copied a few corrupt files and they copied okay. Seems it was still in the file management system even after the first factory default.
Thanks for your advice.

A factory default does a fresh factory install onto the disks - it doesn't do anything with the flash. The factory install includes installing the OS onto the disks.
So doing a factory default on a scratch disk and then switching back to the original disks has no effect. The only reason to do it is to test the chassis.
