mv_xor_status +88 crash
Hi all I recently bought a Readynas 104. Initially it had two 4TB disks in it. I added an extra 4TB last week. I added a final 4TB yesterday. While it was resynching this final disk we had a...
mv_xor_sta
tus is fixed in 6.5.2. I am resolving this thread.
I got this same error when adding a final drive. I think it's kind of silly to say "make sure this is all backed up". If I have 6 Tb of stuff on a RAID NAS, the reason for that is I'm trying to use something solid to store the data. I don't have any other devices around that can take a 6 Tb backup.
So, I know you have to say "make sure you back up your data" but I think we know that's just to CYA.

We have always recommended having a backup of all critical data (especially when 'adding disks'); not for our sake, but to remind everyone that having all your data stored on one device is a single point of failure that you deemed an acceptable risk. Always have a backup of your data leaves you less susceptible to data loss.
The reason we buy these RAID NAS systems IS to backup the data. So basicly what your saying is if this NAS crashes the RAID is pointless? Isnt this the point of a RAID and a NAS to begin with? Have an extra 12TB you would like to send for a backup for my backup? Im not sure im feeling to comfortable with my recent ReadyNAS purchase after seeing this comment.

All he's saying is that RAID isn't enough to keep your data safe. You already know that, since you are backing up to your NAS instead of just deploying RAID on the primary storage device.
On the other hand, it is clear that jlkansascity is coming from a different place - seeing no need for any backup, and any comments otherwise are CYA. That choice leads to data loss, it is only a matter of time. Any device can fail, and RAID arrays also can fail.
Note I don't work for Netgear, so any comments I make about backup have nothing to do with CYA.

The point of a storage device is to store data... and if your RAID crashed for whatever reason and you don't have backups for your data.... what's your plan?
