Beeeping plus - please advise quickly
Hi folks, ReadyNas Duo. All has been fine, but just started beeping. Once - a few seconds later and again. A little later three times, etc. I checked Raidar and Raidiator and all shows fine. Temps....
Thanks Stephen. The reply is much appreciated. I am a little beside myself trying to figure out how to make this right again.
So, please be a little more clear. I am safe taking out a drive and then reinserting if needed to figure out which is the beeping drive? And we do agree it must be a drive?
I have a file called option.config. Is this the backup and if so does not have very much in it.
I did a synctoy copy to an external USB drive.
Now, the package the drives came from say ST320005N4A1AS-RK, but I believe the drives inside are closer to ST2000DL5(or6)03-9VT166(this could be a G or something else). I have not fired this up in case it starts to go and I do not have another drive around, etc.
The firmware is NOT the latest. I am at least one or maybe two behind as everything worked just fine and I try not to update working firmware.
So, can I remove a drive (hot OR cold???) see if it beep again. If it does not, replace the other drive (and if so with what??) and have it resync. OR, if it does beep, shut down and put in the other drive, wait for hopefully no beep and put in another drive to re sync?
Thanks.
Awaiting some further direction.
