NV+ doesn't resync after replacing HD
Hello,
The fourth disk in my NV+ has growing SMART errors so I wanted to replace it.
After hot swapping the drive the display said drive added, drive inserted and then nothing, no resync.
All the files are accesable but frontview reports 0% of 0GB used
Restarted the NAS this made the NAS inaccesable.
Restarted with the old drive in place, volume check and I'm back where I started.

- Any ideas how to make the new disc sync?
- Did you ever use this swap hard driver in any NAS before ? If yes, you had better take another clean disk to try again.
- It's supposed to treat every hot insertion as a new disk, and format it.
What disk model is the replacement? Also, what firmware is running on the NAS? - The disk is new and was factory sealed. It's a Western digital WD10EARX
The firmware on my NV+ is RAIDiator 4.1.9 [1.00a043] - Thx. The existing drives are also 1 TB?
If so, I would simply try again. If that fails, try running WDC's diagnostic (Lifeguard) on a PC.
Another option would be to clone your drive 4 to the new drive (using block-by-block copy), and insert the new drive with the NAS powered down. Though trying again is probably better. - I tried it a second time with the same results.
The other disks are 1TB Samsung spinpoint f1. - Ok. I'd move on to testing it with Lifeguard to make sure it isn't DOA.
