RAIDar diagnostics reporting "Volume swap is 100.00% full"

RAIDar diagnostics is reporting that "Volume swap is 100.00% full", what does this mean and should I be concerned?

This indicates reallocated sectors and reallocation events counts growing on 2 disks (I have 2 new disks on order)

My Readynas Pro 4 is running on ReadyNAS OS6.9.0-T62 (Beta 2).

 

Can anyone throw any light on the "Volume swap is 100.00% full" issue?

    Skywalker thanks for the offer re logs

    I am going to pass on that just for now due to other problems I have trying to replace two drives, as I only have around 2TB of data I just started a Factory Default to solve this.

    If the "Volume swap is 100.00% full" message is still there after completion I will send the logs.

    My RN526 says it has a 1 GB swap partition (/dev/md1).  Possibly that's what it means. 

     

    I suggest rebooting the NAS, and then check the RAIDar status again.

      Have rebooted several times and still shows "Volume swap is 100.00% full"

      Using putty I can see an entry in /dev

      Name "+md1" Size "9,1" Modify Time "Sep 26 15:50"

      I am not well enough versed in Linux to interpret that, where are you seeing your reference to dev/md1 Stephen?
