Issue with ReadyNas NV+ after changing a drive
Yesterday I swapped out the 4th drive in my ReadyNas NV+. I got a number of emails from the NAS. - Disk remove event occurred on SATA channel 4. - Disk fail event occurred on SATA channel 4....
Hello mlight,
Please download the logs.
Can you also please check what you get under Volumes > Volume Settings? Post a screenshot if possible.
Regards,
I can't get to the readyNas NV+ to get the logs.
I haven't shut it down yet.
The othere 3 drives are fine. I just picked up this drive last week, so I can return it there.
Hello mlight,
Have you already tried booting without the disk 4?
Regards,
I had to unplug the unit from the power since the power buttong wasn't working.
Popped out the drive and then turned on the box. It came up fine with 3 drives.
The logs did not show anything after drive 4 started the initialization. That was it until I had to shut down the unit.
Date Message 
Fri Dec 4 00:36:01 VET 2015 System is up. 
Fri Dec 4 00:27:29 VET 2015 Improper shutdown detected. To ensure data integrity, a filesystem check should be performed by rebooting the NAS through Frontview with the volume scan option enabled. Wed Dec 2 11:42:36 VET 2015 Disk initialization started. The estimated time of completion is 17 hour(s) and 39 minute(s), at which time you will be notified via email. You can also check the progress in Frontview in the Volumes -> RAID Settings tab. Please do not shutdown the system while the initialization is in progress. 
Wed Dec 2 11:42:29 VET 2015 Disk add event occurred on SATA channel 4. Wed Dec 2 11:37:12 VET 2015 A SATA reset has been performed on one or more of your disks that may have affected the RAID parity integrity. It is recommended that you perform a RAID volume resync from the RAID Settings tab ( accessible in the Volumes page => Volume tab in FrontView ). The resync process will run in the background, and you can continue to use the ReadyNAS in the meantime. Wed Dec 2 11:36:43 VET 2015 Disk fail event occurred on SATA channel 4. If the failed disk is used in a RAID level 1, 5, or X-RAID volume, please note that volume is now unprotected, and an additional disk failure may render that volume dead. If this disk is a part of a RAID 6 volume, your volume is still protected if this is your first failure. A 2nd disk failure will make your volume unprotected. It is recommended that you replace the failed disk as soon as possible to maintain optimal protection of your volume. Wed Dec 2 11:36:00 VET 2015 Disk remove event occurred on SATA channel 4. Wed Dec 2 09:26:23 VET 2015 RAID sync finished on volume C. The volume is now fully redundant. Wed Dec 2 02:51:10 VET 2015 RAID sync started on volume C. After the ReadyNas NV+ came up with the three drives, I went ahead and put in drive 4.
It made it through the initialization and now is at 65% on the resync. I am watching the progress through Fronview.
It indicates that it has a little over two hours to go.
So I am not sure what happened on first attempt, but it is churning away. I will let report back when it has finished.
