ReadyNAS312 Resyncing at every start-up
Hi All.... So this week is turning in to a bit of a ReadyNAS saga. The problem right now is that I have two new 4Gb hard drives in a ReadyNAS312, with the unit factory reset to get them to format...

And is indicating this is an 8 hours process even though there is no data on the drives.
RAID resync operates below the file system, so every block in the volume is synced (even free space) - so the time is normal.
The NAS will resync if the system is improperly shutdown - but it shouldn't be doing that if you shut it down through the web ui or the power schedule.
Did you check the SMART statistics on the drives? You do this on the performance tab. click on the icon next to each drive (e.g. the round ball), and you will see reallocated sectors, pending sectors, ATA errors, etc. If you aren't sure if they are normal, post them here.
Hiya,
There are no errors showing on either of the drives.
I'd have said the system had only ever been shut down properly since the factory reset, but I had it in my head that that involved pressing and holding the power button until the NAS shut down. Checking the manual again, it says that proper shutdown from the front panel is to double press the power button, so maybe press-and-hold does trigger an improper shutdown?
So I guess we'll wait six hours then have another go.
However:
- any thoughts on this 'Error Reporter: An error has occurred' message that now appears every time I browse to the admin page?
- should the unit have had to spend six hours syncing the drives immediately after a factory reset (when one would have assumed it would just have formatted both drives and marked them as synced)?
Thanks,
Rob.

Now that we've gotten past the resync...
I don't know what's provoking this. You might try PMing mdgm (using the messages link in the upper right), and ask if he'd be willing to analyze your logs.
Did you install any app?
Can you try clearing the cache of your browser?
