readynas 104 replaced drive rebuilt data still showing data degraded
Have a readynas 104 - drive in slot 1 failed -
tested new drive all tests passed
replaced with same make and model
it detects and rebuilds volume showing raid 1
once rebuilt it still comes up with volume degraded
running latest firmware
Have tried rebooting and once rebooted starts the rebuilding process again ?
Anyone have any ideas
thanks
Well I would backup the data onto another disk if you can (don't try and overwrite the existing data).
Then with only good new disks in the NAS do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) and restore your data from backup.

You should update to the latest firmware ReadyNAS OS 6.5.2 which is now available!
Ok have upgraded to 6.5.2 no problems
However the resync says it has finished but data still degraded
The second drive in the array has ata errors on it so I have replaced this with a new disk which I have tested with seagate tools and passed long test
Now the new drive i have put in is showing green online but blackd out and there seems to be no way of forcing a resync I have pulled the drive back out waited 10 minutes and then replaced it with the same results.
I am unable to access my data at this point as I cannot get disk 2 to sync with disk 1 as I had to replace disk 1 as it failed as well how do I force a sync with the good drive in disk 1 from the bad drive.
Then I could simply replace the sick drive and resync and all would be ok
thanks
Do you have a backup?
- Okay I have backup of the data but not disk structure
- If I put a clean drive in there with the bad one data reports as nil
- I have another spare drive I could try making a complete backup through there with esata
