Degraded volume after resync
I have a reasonably old RN314 which I have had to fix up some failing drives. Having resynced the volume from one disk to a new hot spare, the volume says it's still degraded. I have tried to pos...
If the volume is reported as "degraded", that means no redundancy and the data is still available for backup. Do that backup now if you don't already have one. Under no circumstances power down or restart the NAS, as there is a good chance it will come up with the volume "dead".
With two failing drives, I wouldn't even try replacing each disk and letting it go through another re-sync. Back up the data and configuration, replace the two (or maybe all) drives, factory default, and restore. Or, take the plunge and start looking at new NAS hardware that's still supported by the manufacturer.
