Problem with ST2000DL003 after upgrading NV+
Hi folks, I'm a little bit pissed, because last time, upgrading from 2x750GB to 4x1TB WD Green Drives failed. And Netgear kicked out theses drives from the comp.list and denied support afterwards!!...
Sparc ReadyNAS (e.g. NV+) use EXT3 with a 16k block size when last factory reset using RAIDiator 4.x (edit oops meant to say 4.x, block size is 4k when factory reset using RAIDiator 3.x).
If you powered down and removed all the disks at once you can put the old disks back in the NV+.
The ReadyNAS runs short SMART tests. Unfortunately it won't always detect a bad disk. Testing using SeaTools running both short and long tests would be a good idea.
You might also wish to check in the SMART stats for your drives that you have the latest firmware installed on them.
