Odd LED Pattern on ReadyNAS X6
On my friend's RevB X6, it stopped responding to everything. Even power button. So we pulled the power. Now when it starts up, after what (should be) a normal boot, I see the Power LED [slow?] pulse for about 5 seconds, then about a 1/2 second after that, the Activity LED will flicker once, and the cycle will repeat. All the disk LEDs are off. It's not in the list of LED codes. What's going on?

- When the NAS booted fine with 3 disks, I would've then suggested ensuring you have a good backup.
Did you power off before inserting the 4th disk? The X6 does not support hot-swap.
I would not re-order the disks personally. - We did power it off fully. And I thought X-RAID was fine with reordering the disks. No?
- You can reorder the disks, but it's not recommended to do so particularly when the array is not redundant. This is more of a problem on older firmware rather than newer firmware.
When you say the disk was clean was it unformatted? Or had you formatted it? Best to use unformatted disks (i.e. a disk where you've deleted all the partitions on it). - Yup. the disk was wiped clean unpartitioned and uninitialized.
