hard drive upgrade (replace existing)
I have a NV+ that has 4x750GB drives configured as XRaid and running v4.1.5. FYI, I never expanded their capability to the additional 40gb. In any case, I am about to replace the 4 drives with 4x1.5...
ok, i'm on the last drive. It completed the init process as the others. However, it started the sync around 12:10p EST and would seem to have another 30 minutes or so to go based on the other drives. The others have been taking about about 4 1/2 hours (according to the logs).
The problem is, neither the LCD on the ReadyNAS nor the volume settings tab in Frontview are telling me that the sync is taking place. Frontview in the volumes tab has been showing me the percentage complete. Now, it is only telling me that the system is not redundant. The logs last show that the sync started this morning at 12:10p EST and nothing since. The light on the drive is flashing. There is no activity from the activity light. I believe I've seen the activity light flashing consistently when the first 3 drives were doing the sync process.
Just as I was sending this note, I saw the screen on the ReadyNAS switch from its normal screen to tell me that the sync was in progress on drive for but was at 0% !! This has been running for nearly 4 hours. It should be almost done. Should I pull the drive, reinsert? Should I leave the drive in and do a restart?
UPDATE - the NAS has just reported the following:
The disk on channel 4 has failed. The NAS will automatically shutdown in 30 minutes to prevent possible data loss resulting from additional failed drives.
UPDATE2 - I decided to pull the drive and reinsert. It immediately went to resync which I imagine it knows it was initiazlied already.
Thoughts?
