2 quick questions on my RN104 OS6 screens
Okay, 2 (hopefully) quick questions. My System > Performance tab shows all 4 of my drives, temperatures, etc is the status section. The first 3 drive temps look good. However, drive 4 the temp is -1...
Euphos,
Increasing reallocated sector normally due to the drive becoming faulty. It will be safe though but to make sure is to replace it. Before doing that, check your dirve if it is really getting faulty. Turn off you NAS. Connect your 4th drive to a computer and run the disk tool utility and check whether the drive is really faulty. If it is, then I suggest you replace it. Turn on the unit with all drives on it, then once your NAS is booted and everything is accessible, remove the faulty one and hot plug a new drive then let it sync (make take a few hours to complete). Make sure the new drive is either same size or bigger than the original "faulty" drive. :)
