    You'll have to do a forced power down if you can't access the system via frontview or ssh.  And since you can't access the data, you can't back up the data before you do that.

     

    Here's a decoder ring for the Duo leds:

     

    LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 1s delay, followed by a number of slow blinks.  The number of slow blinks will be the error code.

    Current error codes:
    1 - Vendor mismatch
    2 - No disks detected
    3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks
    4 - Flash error
    5 - Unsupported RAID configuration

    This doesn't fit your pattern (since your HD lights are solid), but perhaps it might when you reboot.
