How Much Time to Format?
I have an RN102 (6.2.3) that I have removed the old 1TB discs and replaced with two identical 3TB WD reds. The 3TB discs were tested on a PC, then volumes deleted prior to installing in the RN102. I ...
To answer my question, it took all day for the activity light to quit flashing. let's say 12-24 hours for new disks to get configured.
For some odd reason I can no longer access the web ui through Raidar, because it uses my default browser, Firefox. Before I installed the new discs Firefox could access the web ui. Now it times out. IE11 still works.
Firefox works fine with 6.2.5. It seems odd that 6.2.3 would fail.
There can be web browser compatibility issues introduced by a web browser update. A firmware update is needed in such cases to resolve it. Not sure if this is one of those.
Something to do with certificates. I went into Firefox settings and deleted old certs for my ReadyNAS, then told Firefox to trust it when I attempted to connect to the UI. That fixed it. (Raidar was trying to connect by IP. If I substituted the host name it connected fine.)
Restoring to factory defaults when I changed drives confused Firefox somehow.
It also confused me. I thought I couldn't connect to the UI while the drives were syncing because the NAS was busy. Apparently it was a certificate issue.
