Failed Disk?
Hi All,
I wonder if you can help please. I am running a ReadyNas NV+ with RAIDator 4.1.14, the unit has 1gb of RAM and 4 hard drives eaching being 2tb. They form i large RAID drive.
The unit has been running fine for a long time until a power down, and since the unit does not come back up.
In order to try to get the unit back up and running I have:
- completed a Memory Test
- Reinstalled the OS
- Booted from USB and reloaded the firmware 4.1.14
Currenty the unit boots and gets stuck on a Quota Check at 16.2% - it seems to just hang and stop. At one point it was getting to 62%ish and hanging.
I've now done a boot without file system check, and Disk 1 seems to be re-syncing.
My current issues is that the logs show:
Access to the disk on channel (??) is producing I/O errors. Although the array is still redundant, please replace this drive as soon as possible, as it is likely to fail soon.
Any ideas on the next steps??
I have spare disks at the ready.
Many Thanks
James

Can you post the SMART data?
Is the data accessible? If so, make/update your backup.
Yes, I have been fighting with the unit for a little while. I was able to get into the web interface, however I can't the moment.
Currently the screen is showing Resyncing Volume, with the the Disk 1 light on. - Disk 2,3 and 4 lights are off.
Power light is pulsating
RAIDar finds the unit and reports that everything is OK i.e. File system check, 100% all ights are green.
Currently I'm in two minds, should i rely on what information is on the screen and ligths or what RAIDar has told me.
Should I leave the unit alone over night to see if it completes it's resync or try to shut it down/restart?
Can you get into the NAS with windows file explorer?
