How to Upgrade Disks in ReadyNAS Duo V1
I have an older Sparc ReadyNas Duo V1 with RAID-X and two 500 GB Disks. We use our NAS as our primary network storage within the media share. There is the regular assortment of folders with off...
How or where would I see the data on my USB drive when it is plugged into the NAS?
I see, just use the Browse... I can't access it right now because I selected "filesystem check".
Sometimes I really am a dummy...
It seems that I need to do a factory reset and I kind of like that idea anyway as it will prove that my backup strategy is working (or not).
I checked and my block size is 16384, so that's good.
I checked and my sector partition alignment is only 512, so I need the factory reset to get the 4K alignment which will be the best (or maybe even required) for my new 2TB disks.
I tried to look at my USB My Book (2TB) through Frontview where it shows:
Device Part. Description Used Size FS Speed
USB_HDD_3 1 WD My Book 1230(Partition 1) 512 MB 1862GB EXT3 480
Does that seem correct? What does that 480 speed mean?
The only option that I thought might be useful (and not destructive) was:
"filesystem check" so I clicked that.
Kind of a time consuming mistake I guess.
I think your instructions are pretty clear StephenB, so now it is just a matter of putting in the time...
Thanks again for your help.
(I especially like this approach because it seems like my worst case would be to insert the old disks).
