mv_xor_status+88

Hi all,

If you remember back in May I posted about my NAS issues with drive failure etc. My ReadyNAS 104 had for the first time 4 x 4TB WD RED HDD's and then things went haywire.

Well after getting the support from the Netgear chaps up the road from me but went through the correct process it was a case that drive 4 failed and in an attempt to get as much data from the NAS as I was unable to backup due to no storage big enough I was transferring from NAS to different HDD's and after two weeks Drive 3 failed and also made it impossible to continue transferring and los the remaining data.

Well I sent both Drive #3 and #4 off to my point of purchase as both were still under the 12 month warranty and about 6 weeks later the courier arrived with a package with two WD Red 4TB HDD's. Now preusming they were new replacements rather than the others repaired as they were all sealed up and everything - I inserted one HD into slot 3 as the NAS was noe back up and running with 2 x WD Red 4TB drives. The NAS went through the process as normal and accepted the 3rd drive and all good - granted it took about 2 ro 3 days for the NAS to re-sync which I found very long (maybe somebody can explain why it takes that long or tell me that this is an issue.) but it was working and was able to continue to add data to the NAS.  I left it then for a day and then added the fourth HDD and then the re-sync started. A few days later I see the following on the display of the NAS:

"mv_xor_status+88"

Please don't tell me I am in trouble again with the HDD's.

Anybody shed any light on this. I have read that someone else had a similar problem and they were told to power off and remove the 4th HDD and re-start the NAS.

So can someone come back to me asap on this as I need to know what would cause the message to appear and how serious is it and is the issue the HDD or the NAS itself. I can't be going through this again. :smileyfrustrated:

Ok, not heard anything back so I shutdown and NAS and re-started it and it booted all ok and seemed to be fine as it was doing something withthe data and all files were accessible. Left it continue to do its thing overnight and this morning I see the message has re-appeared again.

Now I could do the above recommendation set by you BrianL but will give another 24 hours before doing that in case you or someone else may have another process to carry out.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys for a bit of help :)

Regards
