ReadyNAS 212 drops second drive
I've got a ReadyNAS 212 with a couple of WD Red 4tb drives in it. If you even look at this thing sideways, it will act like the second drive is not there. It takes several restarts and reseating of...
Appreciate everbody's feedback and suggestions. Got it working again. Here are the steps:
1) Hot-reseat drive #2
2) Repeat
3) Shut down
4) Restart
5) Repeat #1
6) Repeat #4
7) Repeat steps 1 - 6 ~ eight or nine times
8 ) Shut down
9) Remove drive #2
10) Restart
11) Reseat drive #2
12) Mutter various rude things under my breath
13) Repeat #12
14) Restart
15) Hooray, it sees the drive and resyncing has started. 🙂
16) Enjoy wee dram...
After that resync completes, I run a drive check on drive #2. BTW it does have the correct 60W power supply.
But does the supply actually provide 60W? When I said the supply might not be providing sufficient power, I meant that it was doing so because it is failing. I frankly think that your problem likely is not fixed, and you might not be so lucky as to have a recoverable volume the next time something happens. So make sure you keep a current backup.
