Balance failed to start for volume data
This morning, my email notification reported the following error: "Volume: Balance failed to start for volume data." I searched for this message on the community forum, and the documentation,...
The info in volume.log is particularly useful if you are interested in analyzing the running time of the various maintenance functions.
The balance completion will also show up in the log page in web ui. If you select the "volume" category you'll get a much shorter list, and it will include both the start and completion of the balance.
What firmware are you running? Is disk spindown enabled?
Thank you for responding, StephenB.
I'm current on firmware: 6.6.1
Spindown is NOT enabled. Should it be?
Frankly speaking, I can't find good "best practices" information on this feature..., so I left it alone. The unit has been a real trooper, I've replaced drives when necessary, but it's always delivered. RAID 5 setup, 4 x 3TB drives.
Oh, by the way, RAIDar and hte Admin page, alwys say everything is "Healthy."
Any ideas?
