Issue Replacing Disks | RN316 automatically shut down instead of rebuilding RAID array
So is this normal behaviour? Or is this a bug in the software?
I have a RN316 with 6 x 4TB HDDs ina a RAID 5 configuration.
There is less than 5% free space left.
So I want to replace all o...
Hi Platypus69, from your description I understand, that in step 4 the nas announced that shutdown you later experienced. So, finally all worked out as designed according to your post. I would probably have waited with inserting the new 10TB disk until the shutdown/reboot would have happened. Imho, you are lucky, that you are not in trouble now. Sometimes Netgear's nas are more tolerant against (unwise, I would call it) user activities as one could expect.
Kind regards
Surely the alert is for the use case when you are not present and cannot replace the HDD relatively quickly, in which case you would argue that you shut down the NAS as another HDD could fail mathematically (so higher risk, than shutting them down and hoping they come up and are OK.)
In other words I have no idea!!!
