ReadyNas NV+ Checking FS stops at 48%
I hope someone can help me, warning I'm not technical !! ReadyNas NV+ v1 - 4 x 2tb drives After running flawlessly for 5 years it decided to do a Check FS when I turned it on, don't think there was...
Disk 3 seems to be failing. You could try shutting down the NAS and booting the NAS w/o it.
Thanks for your help.
By Skiping Vol Check can access SMART stats. Didn't have long before lose connection but took a screen grab of each disk.
Don't know what I'm looking for but the big difference comparing the four disks is the Raw Read Error Rate figure which is 0 for Disks 1,2,4 but 60766 for Disk 3. The other difference is Current Pending Sector, Offline Uncorrectable, Multizone Error Rate figures are 0 for Disks 1,2,4 but 5,2,22 respectively for Disk 3.
The Health screen listing the disks shows status OK for all disks.
When I booted it not checking volumes it first says Booting... Disc 4 Sync. Also if I look at Volume setting Status was Resync 6% complete time to finish 49.1 min.
Yes I have a backup of the data I'm pleased to say !!
Again thanks for your help.
Just worked out how to upload images :-

Excellent Stephen, thank you.
I did as you suggested, removed Disk 3 and rebooted.
It went though the Check FS and finished after a couple of hours or so. It is all working great, can access it and all files seem to be there.
Going to the Web admin page there were 2 pop up messages
- Raid Sync Started on Volume C Wed Mar 16 20:46
- Volume Scan Found and Corrected Errors Thur 17 00:48
Status\Health = Green light on Disks 1,2,4 and Disk 3 is Unkown 1862 GB - Dead
Volume Settings = Configuration: (Expandable RAiD), 4 Disks. Status: Not Redundant. A Disk failure will render this volume dead. It still shows same Disk space as before - 3140GB (56%) of 5555 GB used
Am I right that basically it's spread the data across the 3 remaining disks without any "raid safety' ? (I did mention I wasn't technical :-) )
If I can take your time up a bit further, could you advise me how to get back to normal. I'm guessing I need to replace Disk 3 I've removed ? Guess it's best to buy a new one compared to trying to repair the one I've taken out ? The new one does it need to be the same as one removed (WD 2.0TB SATA /64MB Cache WD20EARS) ? If I buy one do I need to format it before I put it in ? (i use CIFS so my Mac and PCs can access it).
Sorry for so many questions but trying to get all answers so I don't have to keep bothering you. Again many thanks, you have really helped me. Regards, Duncan
Just looking for a new drive
The ones in it are WD Caviar Green 2.0TB SATA /64MB Cache WD20EARS
Looking at the compatible chart for 2TB there are WD Caviar Black WD2002FAEX and WD Caviar Green WD20EARX
None of above are available, ones I've found are:-
WD Green 2.0TB WD20EZRX (described as a Desktop Hard Drive) £67
WD Red 2.0TB WD20EFRX (described as a NAS Hard Drive) £77.99
They are all SATA 64MB Cache. The WD Green seems nearest to the current ones but the Red is described for NAS, which is best to buy, thanks.
NAS still working fine this morning. Hopefully the last question !!!
