ReadyNAS NV - Corrupt Root
Hello,
I have a ReadyNAS NV that had been performing well for several years using 1.5 TB drives. I decided to give it a bit more room and expand to 2.0 TB drives. The first swap went well, the 2nd one, the ReadyNAS kept saying that the disk was dead or not big enough. After a number of reboots and attempts to get another 2.0 TB drive to come up (trying 2 different drives, even one I had formatted in an ext case connected to the ReadyNAS so I knew it was 'good'), I gave up and inserted the original drive. It was not seeing the drive, so I rebooted the ReadyNAS, and when it came up, it say 'Corrupt Root'.
So now I have a ReadyNAS with 1 2.0 TB drive (a WD20EARX that I bought because it was listed on the HW list) and 3 1.5 TB Seagate 7200.11 drives.
Next steps to get up and running as fast as possible?
Thanks

- I'm up and running, though oddly when I put in the 4 fresh drives, it created a volume on 3 drives, and is now running a resync on drive 4. I would have thought the resync would be pretty quick considering there is no data on the drives currently, but it has taken an hour so far, and saying 9 hours to go.
- Syncing at lower level: sector by sector
Meaning that even unused sectors of the disks need to be synced. So the fact that the volume is still empty doesn't matter.mdgm wrote: Syncing at lower level: sector by sector
