How to swap drive for degraded array?
I replaced the drive that was degrading a RAID 10 configuration. I swapped the drive while it was powered off, but now when powered on ReadyNAS does not even detect the drive. There is no LED light...
Try removing/reinserting the drive with the NAS running.
Did you test the drive before adding it to the NAS?
I did not test the drive. I removed it then inserted one of the good drives in bay 3 and the drive was detected so I know the bay or NAS should not be the problem. Then I put the known good drive back in bay 4 and the possible bad drive back in bay 3. The possible bad drive is a brand new drive in bay 3. Now it says remove inactive volumes in bays 1,2 and 4. The volumes all show up as red in the console. And I can't reach my backup share anymore. It looks like the volume was destroyed. I am going to take it to Data Doctors because I don't know how to get logs or do any of the tech stuff I have read in this forum. Do you have any other suggestions?
