CBCC, your volume is getting full. You should consider getting larger disks for the duo. (Your model needs 2 TB or smaller). After you get through this issue, perhaps post back on that.

Hello again,

My ReadyNAS had been working perfectly after all the Help I got here. I had to take the Hard Drive Upgrade advice in steps.

I installed a 1TB Drive in Bay #2 so that everything from the 500GB in Bay #1 could copy over to it. It took a very long time to copy everything over, but that went well and I used it that way for a while. Once I was able to get another 1TB, I moved the 1TB that was in Bay #2 to Bay #1 and installed the 2nd in Bay #2... I think I had the unit Off for this. It took a while, but I never got 1TB in total... it was still stuck showing as a 500GB that was nearly full. I left it like that for a while and got back to it last night.

I Hot-Swapped the two, but still didn't get 1TB. So you know, I have not changed the RAID configuration, so I should have attained 1TB. Then some very weird things started happening. I was getting emails about errors, and now the Power Button LED and all 4 of the little Green LEDs flash in sequences. The Power Button LED flashes On with all 4 of the little Green LEDs Off, then the Power Button LED is Off with all 4 of the little Green LEDs On, and they don't stop flashing.

I have tried turning the ReadyNAS Off and back On, and pressing the Reset Button with it On, and pressing the Reset Button while turning it On, but nothing has helped. It even does this without a Hard Drive installed, though it seems that the flashing patterns vary with things installed in different ways (two drives, one in either bay, or nothing installed). And there were no more emails from the ReadyNAS after the LEDs started flashing.

Any thoughts on getting this ReadyNAS working properly again? If all Data has to be wiped on the two 1TB Hard Drives, that would be OK, as I should still have it on the two 500GB that were removed; though I'll have to check to see if it was lost on one of them. I could probably copy everything to the ReadyNAS with one of those 500GB Hard Drives mounted in a PC. I haven't tried mounting one yet to see if a PC can read that Data. I may need some help with that, too, after this thing is working again.

I received and email the other day saying that there is a new version of Firmware available. I had the latest until this. Do you think this might help? Then again, I don't think I'll have access to the ReadyNAS until this issue has been resolved.
