Power off after disk failure

So I had a drive email me as failed during my most recent test. It was still using the drive though. So i pulled out the old drive, and swapped in the new one. Of course when I pulled out the old one it thew alerts in the readynas os consol saying a drive had been removed and that it would power down in 30 minutes due to a drive failure. by that time i had put in the new drive and the resync had started, but it still powered down after 30 minutes. Why would it power down even after the drive was replaced?

    Hello vrspectre,

     

    Did you have any power schedule set?

    Hello vrspectre,

     

    We need more details.

     

    • What is the model of the NAS?
    • How many disks are inserted?
    • Which drive did you replace?
    • What's the current firmware version?
    • What's the RAID level?
    • When you removed the disk, did you try accessing the shares?

     

    Regards,

      I have the readynas 516. 

      all 6 drive bays had 4TB WD Red drives. 

      bay 2 is the one that i replaced. 

      i replaced it with a 6TB WD Red drive

      firmware 6.? (i don't remember) it's a home, but, it's whatever is the latest one in production, no beta. 

      raid is xraid. i believe it to be raid 6

      no, after i removed the disk, the first thing i did was replace it. 

       

      then after i put the drive in, i did access the shares.
