No volume after swapping drives from NAS-104 to NAS-314. I can see all the data, but I can't reboot
Hello, I had an existing NAS-104 which died (the chassis, not the hard drives) - this was confirmed by support. I managed to get a NAS-314 and I put all the drives in one-by-one in the same o...
For some reason it's not detecting the volume properly. My first guess would be an issue with the volume label of the filesystem itself and in /etc/fstab. That sometimes needs to be manually corrected to be set for the new hostid when migrating disks to a new chassis.
The proper procedure was to put all the drives in together with the power off. Upon boot, a re-sync shouldn't have been needed unless the failed NAS damaged the volume when it died. If you did put them in one at a time with power on or with power on in between each, as I read your post, then you are lucky to get where you are instead of a totally dead volume. Please confirm if you moved them all before powering on or had power on at any time before all were transferred.
- Hi thank you for responding.
I definitely had the power off before putting any drives in.
In fact steps I specifically took were
(1) plug new 314 unit on with no drives. Configure basic setup of the unit, time, admin, etc.
(2) shut down unit.
(3) insert each drive one by one in the order they were in before....1 to 1... 2 to 2...3 to 3... 4to 4.
(4) powered on unit. This is where it began the resync automatically and I saw it happening on the led. I did think this was odd but wasn't about to mess with it
While the resync was going on, I was still able to access the files and folders either through the admin or directly via windows drive
Any other thoughts?

sorry, i didnt quote before, i was on mobile.
but see above. Yes, I moved them all at once, with the power entirely off. Then i turned the power on after all drives had been moved.
I never once turned the power on while the drives were in the process of moving as I knew that would be a bad idea.
So here I am, with an entirely seemingly working drive, but i cant reboot - and i worry if it it will try to resynch again for 24 hrs if i force it to reboot.
Do you think it's just best to copy the data while I can to another drive and start over?
What's the output of the following?:
# cat /etc/fstab # btrfs fi show # hostid

do i need to telnet in to execute those functions? if so, wouldnt that require me to reboot?
Separately - I noticed there are no LUNS under the iSCSI page - do i need to do that? It's been 7 years since I had setup my RN104, so I really don't remember the setup process
