My NAS Duo is stuck, slow or dead!
Hi again. Suddenly my NAS is running very, very slow. Just to open it frontview takes 5 min, and maybe a hold 15 min to navigate to where I can shut it down. To copy 4gb to my pc would take 12 hours, ...
I don’t think that it is because of resyncing it is slow. As I told my NAS started out to be slow with no warning, just one morning it decided to go 10 times less my normal speed. And both my hard drives was still slow with only 1 hard drive in place
Well after 40 hours and 30% done of the resync, it decided to get stuck. Raidar and frontview couldn’t find it anymore. Waited until the next day, but still the same. Try to hold down the power button to restart it, tried it 4 times for 10 min, and gave up. Dooku described in another post “ the only way out now is to pull the plug” so I did. Now it’s doing a file system check. When its done doing that, expect 12 hours or so I have this plan:
Taking the hard drive, that I know contains all my files, out of the NAS. Get the other hard drive in slot 1 and do a total factory default. Then I will check if I have a NAS with a good performance again. If that is the case, I will shut down the NAS put the clean hard drive in slot 2, and the one containing my files in slot 1, then start my NAS up. Then it will sync my files to the clean drive right? After that I will take out the, before clean disc, and check if it is containing all my files. Then I will do a factory default with only the disc in slot 1. Then the file are wiped out on that drive to, and then check the speed on that drive to. I will shut down the NAS changes the disc so that my files are in slot 1, power it up and make it resync. If both my drives are ok, then I would have an fast NAS again right?
Hope it makes sense, hard to make sense all the way from Denmark ;)
Is that a good solution, or any other ideas?
