ReadyNas Duo v2 - Installation & Setup
Hi all This is my first post and I admit it is a little noobish, so please go gentle :) After extensive research particularly on this forum, coupled with the fact that I own numerous Netgear p...
Now it's 09.06 - RAIDiator has lost communication and RAIDar is saying: - 37.9% complete time to complete 134 hours 17 mins Speed 3MB/sec.
Surely something is very very wrong. How long should 2 x 3TB disks take to install - someone?
I still do not know despite asking, whether the Duo needs to be connected to my PC whilst Syncing/Recovery is going on? At the moment the power Light on the unit is on, the LED underneath is blinking away and the 2 smaller LED's underneath that are on. The Power button does not respond and so the only way I can turn the damn thing off is by pulling the power cord.
Please can someone help me please - it is now 3 constant days since I started installing and I'm getting worried about my new disks which have been spinning most of this time without any break.
My thoughts are that the slightest error when reading/writing files is going to trigger a RAID rebuild/Re-Syncing and so I am going to forget X-RAID2 which I wanted to at the beginning, but this thing didn't give me the option and commenced to build the default RAID anyway. So I want to get back to where I was and try to build a system where I ultimately will have NO RAID and have space over 2 volumes of 6TB (2 x 3TB). How do I achieve this please?
If I can't achieve this, then this thing is going back from wence it came - so far this has to be the very worst Netgear product I have ever owned.
EDIT - speed down to 0 MB/sec now - this is hopeless!!!!! I think it's frozen but god knows what the thing is doing with a blinking LED!!
