Can you elaborate on what you mean by "How is your data volume doing"

Hi FG

Thank you for the PM.

As mentioned, if you have a disk which has errors it will be a good move to replace it and not wait for it to fail.

I saw under Smart history log a WD disk (WDC WD1500ADFD-00NLR WD-WMAP42306077) which has errors then I checked volume logs but haven't seen that installed. Have you replaced it already?

Regards

(WDC WD1500ADFD-00NLR WD-WMAP42306077) must be one of my USB drives. I don't see that ID as one of the current 4 NAS drives

If it is used as a destination in a backup job, then it could be part of the puzzle.

Those ata errors have a time stamp of 6 months ago.......via the smart_history.log. file.

If WDC WD1500ADFD-00NLR WD-WMAP42306077 was a problem, wouldn't it show a current time stamp?

And I don't see WDC WD1500ADFD-00NLR WD-WMAP42306077 listed in the volume.log file.

When you put your NAS in SDM, does the tech have access to the data, can they see individual files and folders?

When using is SDM, is it as if you were using the NAS GUI?

The tech can see everything on the NAS like you could if you were to use SSH as the root user.
