Kernel Panic
I received a new unit for my PSU failed NV+ today (FW 4.1.7). Plugged in the 4 disks (in the right order) and powered on. Came back a while later to see "Kernel Panic" on the LCD. Powered off and...
I've tested in two different brand new RMS NAS with the same result.
Both work with a new drive in slot 1 and no other drives.
Both fail with Kernel Panic with the disk set form my old 01ABBF unit.
So I'll try pulling disks one at a time.
Pulling disk 2 reduced the clicking - but gave a bad firmware error I tried to reinstall using the reset button.
Reinstall appeared to work, but then gave a Panic.
So I'll try 3, 4, and 1 to see what if any works.
No difference, removing any one of the 4 disks and attempting to boot now gives a Kernel Panic.
If there are two dead disks the array is dead - and it's the backup of the backup (NAS3 backs up NAS2 which backs up NAS1) so I don't have to worry :o
Just buy a new set of drives, hard drives are (expensive) consumables.
Drives ordered - that's my Xmas present sorted!
