ReadyNAS Duo v1 not completely booting up after replacing failed disk
Background
I have a ReadyNAS Duo V1 with a failing disk. System emails indicated :
Disk 2 did not pass SMART self-assessment test. Please replace this disk as soon as possible.
Growing SMA...
Finally done more detailed tests on the second disk I acquired and find faults. The cause seems to be a faulty disk. I have done a factory reset with the first 2TB disk I purchased and it's working fine, and faster than before, but obviously not in a RAID configuration.
Clearly I was too patien. My investment in testing tools will be put to good use whenever I buy new hard drives.
Many thanks to all contributors.
