More evidence that there may be something funky going on here, firmware wise.
Have a Pro Pioneer and after updating it this evening to the latest firmware, suddenly channels 2, 3, 4, and 5 report as dead. Haven't even had a SMART error up until now. Everything was fine until I did the firmware update.
If that isn't odd, here's what happened immediately after the firmware update:
1. RAIDar shows all drives as green.
2. Frontview simultaneously shows channels 2-5 as DEAD.
3. I can browse the shares and successfully both loaded files off the drives and moves files around.
About ten minutes later RAIDar also reported the drives had failed, as did the front panel on the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer. The shares were no longer accessible.
Then I rebooted the device. After the reboot the same situation as above happens again. Good in RAIDar, DEAD in FrontView, shares accessible.
Ran a volume scan and it completed with no errors. Yet the same conditions apply: RAIDar thinks thinks are fine, FrontView thinks I'm screwed. My confidence is quite low at the moment...
