All Disks Dead, but the volume is still readable
Hi, The PSU in my old ReadyNAS had become slow to power up, so I ordered what was advertised as a compatible replacement from ebay. After powering replacing the PSU and powering up, the ReadyNAS ...
Thanks,
I had read your post and had already disabled the sleep function in troubleshooting.
The latest status is that overnight the Rsync finished, but then without any log entry or alert about a drive failure, the panel and RAIDar are reporting that the raid is not redundant/unprotected.
I disassembled and cleaned everything including repasting and contact cleaner on all of the connectors.
Upon bootup RAIDar briefly reported all drives healthy and all of their temperatures, but Frontview still showed all drives dead and only one drive temp. After a few minutes RAIDar lost the drive temperature data.
Any ideas why RAIDar and Frontview would be reporting different information or how to reset this?
Thanks
Many years ago I had a similar problem on a ProBE running OS 4.2.x, though not usually all drives. But more than one, yet my volume was actually still fine. My problem was four of the drives (which were older and took more power, having been moved from an NVX) coming out of sleep mode slower than the other two, and disabling sleep mode kept it from happening again. An underpowered PSU could cause a similar problem, I suspect. Even though that was back when the "Jedi" were active here, so there was a lot of developer support, the only way I could clean up the drives was to remove each drive and then let it re-sync or do a factory default. Anything less that they suggested didn't seem to "stick" for long.
