Missing support f ReadyNAS RND4000 v3 !!
Help !
I cannot find ANY support on NETGEAR pages that explicitly is valid for my RND4000 v3
When i search for ReadyNAS NV+, i only get v1 and v2 as possible selections.
It is the same on many different pages (FAQs, downloads, etc, etc)
WHY ?
My problem is this:
I have run it with X-RAID on 4 x 1TB SAMSUNG HD:s for more than a year w no problems.
But now it is almost full.
Bought 4 x 3TB Seagate ST3000DM001 this summer after i found it specified on a "harddisk compability list".
But I have struggled with making second backups of all data until last week.
So, now, finally, I i "hotswapped" slot 4.
The NAS logged "Disk fail event" and "Disk add event" as expected.
Then logged "The disk attached to channel 4 could not be used. The most common reasons are RAID resync in progress, faulty drives, and disks that are too small to be added to the array"
I assumed it was in resync progress.
The NAS where (is) still online, fully functional, all as it should.
(But now unprotected)
But after flashing with LED 4 and not showing anywhere in RAIDar (Frontview) any sign of it being resyncing for over 34 hours, I shut it down and rebooted, hoping this would initialize the new disk.
But after reboot it went into exactly the same status.
After another 12 hours, I ordered a firmware update from Frontview including a volume scan.
So it did, upgrading firmware from 4.1.7 to 4.1.13.
It took 4,5 hours to perform the volume scan, displaying "Volume FS 01% --> 99%"
And then went into exactly the same status again.
LED 4 is flashing and there is nowhere I can see a "resync" status.
So my questions obviously:
* Where/how can I see if it is in a "resync" progress ?
* Is it actually resyncing and it will take more than 38 hours ?
* I cannot find my RND4000 v3 in the Harddisk Compatibility List selections again. Where is it !?
* Why is there no support page for RND4000 v3 as there is for v1 and v2 ?
Please advice !!!

- Thanks for the tip !
It showed where the problem lies, as I suspected.
The 104 is not connected with my local network because i have not assigned it to my workgroup (called WORKGROUP)
It shows in a "unknown" network.
Where can I assign it ?
I've looked all over in the setups in the web-based interface ... cannot find where - Click on "accounts", then "authentication"
