ReadyNAS NV Failing to start
ReadyNAS NV (c.2006) was working fine yesterday. 4 disks installed. When attempting to access it today, I am unable to do so. RAIDar can't see it, doesn't respond to ping. Pressing and holding the...
OK. We seem to be making progress.
Booting with disks #1 + #2 + #3 is a no-show.
Disk #4 meanwhile passes vendor diagnostic tools with flying colours, as do #3 and #2.
However, #1 fails diagnostics at the first hurdle. (The test PC didn't even like having it plugged in).
So, can a ReadyNAS NV boot with #2 + #3 + #4 ? With a view to rebuilding the array when I can get a replacement for #1.
Or is slot #1 in some way special? I find it disturbing that a RAID array can be rendered inaccessible by the demise of a single disk. Does it host some critical, unduplicated, piece of the operating system or something?
