Fried(?) ReadyNAS NV+ #19179228
I have a ReadyNAS NV+ (3x500GB) that has performed without problem for five years. Yesterday morning I left it unattended while copying a large file to the device from a WinXPPro machine. When I ret...
I received a replacement P/S which installed without problem. I booted the device with a single bare drive, which proceeded without incident, except that while Raidar identified the device on the first boot, it took a second time around before I could access it via frontview. After powering it down (authorizing a volume scan on restart) and reinstalling the preexisting array (3x500, in the proper order), the following occurred.
(1) It booted, started a volume scan, which took quite some time, and then proceeded with a quota check (which had not explicitly been authorized), and which seemed to hang at 0.1% for hours, so I tried forcing a shutdown with the power button. The device seemed not responsive, so I left it, and when I came back later the quota check seemed suspended and I could power it down. During this episode the device was visible on Raidar.
(2) On reboot, after some time during part of which it reported Resynching volume 2, the device then reported "Found bad volume." It did respond to an attempt to shut it down.
(3) On third restart it first reported that it was Resyncing Volume 2, after which it again proceeded with a quota check, which after 18 hours has gotten to 4.3 percent, at which pace it will take three weeks or so to complete. During this time the device has been visible on Raidar, and has consistently displayed the same information, even on repeated rescans. It reports that it is engaged in a quota check but no progress information is visible. Drive 1 (a Seagate ST3500320AS) reports temperature, nominal capacity and "6 ATA Errors"; drive 2 (ST3500630NS) reports nominal capacity and temperature; drive 3 (630NS) reports capacity, temperature, and "1 ATA Error". (Prior to the P/S failure, Smart data on the 630NS's had reported no errors; the 320AS had reported a small but stable number of ATA errors, possibly the 6 it is currently reporting, and a slowly growing number of "LPStat events," the significance of which I had never been able to figure out.) The array LED reports usage and capacity, but not at any time progress of resynching or quota check. All lit LED's are green, except for the blue LED at the left side of the Raidar display.
Does anyone have any advice to offer? Do I just walk away and check back with it in a week or two?
