ReadyNAS Ultra 6 - stuck on syncing
Hi,
It seems that RAID scrubbing unveiled a disk error. But now my ReadyNAS seems to be stuck at 29% on syncing. The system is configured as a single volume, 6 x 1TB WD1003FBYX drives, X-RAID2...

Do you know what drive has failed?
Conversion to OS-6 is destructive, so you will need to restore your files from a backup anyway. If you already have that backup, you could just proceed with the OS-6 conversion. You can do that with one drive, and then do a factory install when the new drives arrive.

Thanks for the response.
Yes, it is drive #3 that has failed. I had to do a hard reboot a couple of times to get the UI back. I as then able to access it over AFS and via the UI. It is still doing the resync - 30% sfter 2 days - but i can at least access the files. I do have an older backup but since it is available, i'm taking another one right now that is almost complete.
When the backup is complete, i'll do an upgrade to OS6 with a single drive and will then replace all the drives with larger capacity drives.
Thanks again for your help.
John
