Degraded Resync???
I've been adding disks to the ReadyNAS RN628X to complete the array (goal is having 8 identical drives in RAID-6). I managed to get 2 drives ordered recently (I'll call them Disk 6 and Disk 7) and in...
I had posted this before realizing I could edit my original post. Please disregard this specific "reply" and (admins) delete if possible. I'm not seeing that option on my end...
With an 8-drive unit, XRAID will automatically convert to RAID6 at that point. It has done that, but has not yet completed re-syncing the second drive. So your volume is degraded because it expects two redundant drives and currently has only one.
I had a feeling it was due to the resync not done. So if I understand you correctly, the disks are okay, and the resync is going on, but the array sees itself as degraded because it's down a drive until the resync is done
So once the resync is done in the background, everything should go back to normal readouts.
Does that about cover it? I guess the reason I've been concerned is because the box's readout is not saying anything other than "DATA DEGRADED"... no switching between different readouts like a resync progress update or anything...
Or did I miss anything?

Correct. Let us know if that doesn't happen.
Sure enough, once the sync was completed, the message went away in the box, and the web UI shows everything reading normal... RAID-6 and all.
Thanks, guys!
