Power Outage - Resyncing ReadyNAS 104
Hi, I just had two power outages and now my NAS 104 is resyncing should I leave or restart? And yes I need to get a UPS! Firmware 6.9.0 4 4TB Drives 50% full. The resync will takes days fro what ...
Thanks a_carneiro,
Robooted and its commenced recync cycle so heres hoping all will be okay. I will setup the UPS and connect my other NAS ASAP.
I do expect a couple of days at least to finish, I am presuming all my data will be okay.

Just leave it to do its thing.
The 104 is a very underpowered model so the resync will be a long, slow process which should take around 5 days for that capacity (if memory serves right).
Thanks,
We just had a second power failure, its back up now, I did pull the pwer plug out so if there was a power surge with the power reconnection it would not do more damage.
Would it be sefe to re-boot now?
I do have a second Reday NAS4 that is fine.
I have also ordered a UPS.
Well, should be safe to reboot assuming you're not expecting another power failure
The UPS is the obvious choice, all of my ReadyNAS boxes are UPSed :)

Unless there has been any damage to teh HDDs from the power outages, I would expect your data to be absolutely fine, yes.
In fact, you should be able to access it whilst it unit is resyncing. Performance will be significantly impacted, though
Good luck! :D
