All disks DEAD - Everything works .... ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus
Hi
yesterday all was good, today all 5 disks dead...
Raidar report Helaty
I dont think is is the disks that makes this issue, can it be the NAS box HW?
What are my options?
...
While I never had them all do it at once, I had a Pro6 with a mix of 7200 and 5900 RPM drives running OD4.2.something that would occasionally have one or more go "dead" even though all were actually fine. I would remove each, renisert, let it re-sync, and all was fine for a while; then it would happen again. I turned off drive spin-down, and it fixed the problem. I later upgraded to OS6.0, and had no problems, even with spin-down enabled.
I came to the conclusion that differing spin-up times were confusing the NAS; but I dont have hard evidence, just circumstantial.
Hi Sandshark, thanks for reply
I will try to remove on HDD at a time, see whats happening. This shall be done with power on?
You write "running OD4.2" is that the firmware?
I run the latest RAIDiator 4.2.31. I dont think i can upgrade it to OS6?
I have had this running for years, with spin down enabled, no problem at all.
