HELP!: backup failing on NV+ v1
I am getting ready to replace several old disks in my NV+ v1 running X RAID. I went to backup my data (roughly 350GB total with 3 400GB drives) and the backup has failed several times (frontview beco...
Thanks for your reply, very helpful!
Awhile back I purchased four Seagate 1TB ST1000DM003 drives, intending to replace 3 and keep one as a spare. I did a quick google and didn't find much--are these drives also on your do not recommend list??? I don't mind purchasing more and I can find another use for the new ones if necessary.
The existing drives are fairly old although the number of power on hours is reporting surprisingly low at about a year of service if I'm reading that right. I had to move and the unit was powered of for a couple lengthy stretches so maybe it's correct or maybe the hours got reset at some point, not sure.
I still don't understand why the filesystem didn't come up after (1. powering down 2. pulling a disk 3. power up). Is there something special that needs to be done to get the filesystem back up in that scenario? I mean, that's the point of this raid system ... when one disk goes down or is not present the other two are there?
Fortunately after killing all extraneous processes (samba, ftp, frontview, etc) I am backing up successfully for about 12 hours now. I'm maybe 1/3 through the backup, so a good start.
