Looks like a bad disk to me. I can see I/O errors.
Is your backup up to date?- rmurgzMar 23, 2017Tutor
Hi mdgm,
Back-ups are up to date though I'd rather not restore from them as it's a bit messay.
Am not sure in which log you're seeing the I/O errors.
When I looked at the logs on the ReadyNAS portal it looks like the NAS had finished resyncing with the new drive in bay 3 before the drive in bay 1 failed. Am I safe to stick a new 6tb drive into bay 1 to restore my RAID5 failover or are there bigger issues that have been in play for longer?
Apologies in advance if these questions seem dumb :( and thanks again for all your help.
