Losing Volume on Raid 0 #24221687
Hi I have a strange issue with losing my volume after the first NAS restart after initial set-up. All 4 drives check out fine in Windows, memory test and disk checks have been done via the NAS and ...
Hi
To answer your points in order.
1) Yes, its flex raid (second option down and raid 0 selected from the dropdown). I’m testing with 2 disks just now but have 4 for this NAS. Doesn't matter what drives, and in what drive bays, when I add more than 1 disk, the first restart loses the volume. Prior to that restart I can install apps, see the full volume, access and copy to the volume without issue.
2) Yes raid 0 is pointless for backup on a single NAS, but I'm mirroring the NAS to a dedicated backup NAS. This is actually the backup NAS we are discussing, so the main NAS is currently at risk.
3) Running various detailed disk checks the moment. I'll take a while though...16TB. Quick checks in windows showed everything as fine, just a few reallocated sectors on one disk. The NAS passed all the disks when is full disk test was run by the NAS.
4) 2x Seagate and 2x Hitachi on the backup NAS, which is the one under discussion. These disks are about a year old. The problem seems to have just started when I did a factory reset. The main NAS runs WD red drives; both NAS are 16TB, 4 x 4TB.
5) Latest ARM 5.3.11 is installed on both NV+V2.
I've been using ReadyNAS in their various forms for around 8 years now, and this is the first time I've run into anything like this. Any idea’s a greatly appreciated, as I’m at a loss. I’m not doing anything that I haven’t done a dozen times before.
