ReadyNAS Duo 2110 v1 - Unable to access
Hello - Unit is a ReadyNAS Duo 2110 (v1) fitted with 2 X1 TB drives. Working without any problems for 5 years. Suddenly, could not read access. The status lights on the DUO showed Disc 1 Solid but Dis...
Thanks a million to both of you. I am a real novice here and really happy to have you helping me out!
Yes, all NAS data is backed up!
After unplugging the NAS and starting up again, I was able to gain access through RAIDar. Went to Health and checked Smart+ buttons -- neither show any ATA errors. Disk 1 has no Reallocated errors but Disk 2 shows 3971. I did not receive any email notification alerts until I unplugged and restarted the NAS. Then I received an alert that "Disk 2 did not pass Smart assessment test ... replace asap".
Smart errors:
Previous count 0
Current count 3971
So I guess it's time to replace the drive. But that brings up a new set of questions:
1. If only one drive fails, is all my data secured on the other good drive? My current config shows as follows: X-RAID (Expandable RAID), 2 disks
2. After purchasing the new disk, do I just pull out the old one and hot swap the new one in?
3. Do I then have to "tell" the NAS to setup the RAID config again or will it do that automatically?
4. Anything else I should be aware of prior/during replacement?
THANKS AGAIN!
