expanding ReadyNAS NV (RNV1-S2-0000)
Hi, all. I just bought 4x Western Digital Red WD20EFRX 2TB to expand my ReadyNAS NV from 4x 1TB disks. I'm running the latest firmware (RAIDiator 4.1.10 [1.00a043]). I've been doing a lot of re...
Hope someone can give me a quick answer.
I swapped out my 1 TB disks for four new 2 TB disks. I did the factory reset per the instructions in the original Getting Started guide (powered off, press and hold the reset switch for 30s, power on, watch LEDs, then release after the second time all four flash... ~30s). I may have delayed releasing the reset switch a second or two, but no longer.
Now the power light is flashing, and the LEDs for disk 2 & 4 are solid. It's been about 10 minutes.
Is this normal behavior? If so, how long do I have to wait until it shows up in RAIDar? If this is not normal behavior, how should I proceed? Can I power off by holding the power button? That way I could retry the factory reset.
Thanks!
