ReadyNAS NV stuck on resync 40.1%
ReadyNas NV +2 inc 4 x 1tb Western Digital I received an email from the NV+2 to say disk 4 was having a few smart issues and I should considering changing it, I ordered a new drive idetical to othe...
Well identifying which of your other disks is having issues is important for working out the best way forward.
If the resync is getting stuck and not progressing further that suggests you have a second failing/bad disk.
I agree and understand the need to check and therfore eliminate the possible faulty disks, if I go back this all started from a single email from the box advising I swap disk 4 due to smart errors and aviod possible failure, that's it.
Prior to that the disks and system has been brilliant along with the other NAS boxes I have scattered around.
I am going to label and remove each disk, test it via lifegaurd utility as suggested and see what that brigns up, the extended test takes a considerable amount of time to run so is there a test that suits, proving a disk to be ok and allowing me to speed up the process of elmination.
I appreciate any feedback and guideance, the data is critical and I will do whatever to ensure of its saftey.
You should use the extended test. Yes it takes ages, but as has been pointed out previously it is essential that you know exactly what is going on with the health of all the disks before deciding how to proceed. This includes the new disk that you have just inserted.
A resync puts heavy stress on the disks, if there was another of the disks that was borderline, the resync may have worsened this.
If the nas is a backup device, are you implying that the primary data is elsewhere and intact?
Ok, I will continue with testing, all tests so far have proved inconclusive with no failures so I will use extended testing on all units and see what this returns.
Sorry, this NAS Box is my main or primary device where I store all data, I have other Ready NAS boxes and many HDD's in the PC's but all data / photographs are moved here for archive and then removed from other storage devices, this is my way of retaining order and keeping thins clean. :-(
I will report back once all disks have tested.Thank You.
Important data should always be stored on multiple devices. Things like multiple disk failures can happen.
