Lost all my data on my RN104 - anything I can do?
I've got a ReadyNAS 104 that has lost all my data. After receiving an error message that stated one of my drives was having issues, the front panel locked up but I could still see my shares and files...
Rainmaker11 has a point here... I can appreciate that he didn't use verified drives, and that he shouldn't have used an old drive initially, but the system has never told him that he was accumulating problems... That is an issue.
If/when a drive starts failing, perhaps with ATA errors, there should be a warning in FrontView, and perhaps an email. A trigger could be when more than 10 errors in one day are registered, or something like that. You can't just say "you should have noticed that in the logs" - most people wouldn't know what to look for, or where...
I have 6 drives in my Pioneer Pro, and two of these have a few ATA errors. Not an awful lot, and probably nothing to worry about, yet NetGear supporters were very quick to blame "failing" discs on a performance problem I had earlier. I upgraded FW a few weeks later, and wupti, my performance problems disappeared. So in actual fact the "failing" discs had nothing to do with it, and probably something was just fixed in the FW. I still have a few ATA errors on my discs, but everything is working fine, and the amount of errors has been the same for 5 months now:=)
