Failed drive replaced in Pro Business, can't tell what's up.
I've had my Pro Business for years now. I've moved from 6x500G to 6x1T to 6x2T over the years, and have always used Seagate Constellation ES.2 drives. I have a drive failure about once every 18 mon...
You'd need to download them.
system.log, kernel.log, expansion.log, user.log are probably all places to look.
Usually hovering the mouse over the drive or volume icons gives you an indication of progress. What firmware are you running?
There are drive failures that can disrupt the SATA interface, and cause the driver to shut it down. Though I'd have expected that to block detection of the new drive insertion.
I suggest rebooting (maybe shutting down, removing power for a bit, then restart).
If the resync doesn't start I would remove the drive and reinsert it (NAS running).
Another interesting data point - from the RAIDar app, which appears to think the third drive is good:

OK - I threw caution to the wind and rebooted. Not like it could get any worse. And now that it's restarted, the rebuild has commenced (RAIDar display below after reboot). So now my question becomes - why didn't it rebuild after the hot swap?

Hard to say, perhaps the logs would provide some clues.
If the rebuild completes ok, I'd just leave it as a tech mystery though.
In which log would I look for a clue? It's definitely not in the log available from the GUI.
