Disk failure detected, but not logged or reported (by email)
Pretty scary event over the weekend. I was poking around the logs looking for something else and noticed this: Sep 1 16:23:48 ReadyNAS01 kernel: RAID1 conf printout: Sep 1 16:23:48 ReadyNAS01 ke...
Another disk (disk 1 this time) has been marked as "dead" with no notifications or emails.
This time I removed the disk, rebooted, and replaced it. The drive has no SMART errors and was able to resync fine. I setup a webcam facing the front panel since the ONLY indication I have of these failures is the OLED staying on with "Vol C Unprotected"
I will attempt to backup what critical data I can on spare drives and update the firmware (against my better judgement).
Could replacement drive not listed in the HCL be to blame? I recently had to replace two drives due to increasing SMART reallocation errors - but I used WDC drives not listed (see this cross-post)
