ReadyNAS Duo v2 - can't add a second disk
Hello, closed thread found for this problem: i can not add a second disk for my ReadyNAS Duo v2. Two types of disk also been tried: WDC WD5000AAKX, Samsung HD103SJ. That's all I can see in the l...
You factory defaulted this unit in Flex-RAID, not X-RAID. X-RAID would expand your disks to 2 disk expansion. As such, you're currently using a RAID 0 and can't expand that. You should backup your data, factory default, and use X-RAID if you want redundancy. If you want another RAID 0 and possible risk of losing all of your data, then you should factory default with both disks in place and use Flex-RAID to choose your RAID option. Your other option right now is to add the new disk as a new volume.
The messages you are getting about resyncing arrays is because we add the OS and swap partitions to your new disk and resync those for redundancy of those options. We wouldn't do anything with the data volume area in Flex-RAID.
I can send someone to the whole log file or i can paste it parts, if you specified which is need.
Send us the entire zip file (see the Sending Logs link in my sig).
The disk you added has 13 ATA errors.
Yes, I have seen the log. This is what does not work?
It could be the reason why you can't use this disk though 13 ATA errors doesn't necessarily mean the disk has failed. If the disk is bad then the NAS won't use it.
