6.2.0 upgrade problems on RN104
Since upgrading my RN104 to 6.2.0 I've had similar problems to those listed by other users: - Unable to shutdown or reboot. Display shows appropriate message and power button LED flashes, but noth...
New logs sent, thanks.
StephenB - I have a single bay USB enclosure connected to my PC, and 4 bare drives that I put into it depending on which drive in the NAS is being backed up. I realise I'm making work for myself in managing which drive in the NAS I copy files to and then backing up each drive separately, so I've decided I will switch to RAID 0. As it happens, I have a brand new 4 bay D-Link NAS on my desk that I bought for another purpose last week as it was only £100, but I haven't done anything with it yet so can use it for backing up instead. I just need to buy a couple more drives to go in it.
That's a good point about losing the entire array though, so I will use JBOD in the D-Link. The odd thing is, Netgear use JBOD to refer to each drive being a separate volume (as per my current setup) but D-Link call this Standard, with JBOD meaning all the drives combined into one volume but not striped like RAID 0. As far as I can tell, it just fills up the drives in turn as you copy data to the single volume, so one drive failing will only take out the contents of that drive. Isn't there an option to do this in the ReadyNAS? I'll take security of my data over speed any day!
