recovering after drive failure
Need some advice on what to do next. ReadyNAS in X-Raid2 with 3X 2TB Drives. After family complained that it could not access shares, I logged in as admin. Disk 1 status "Dead", Disk 2 status "Spa...
What NAS do you have, and what firmware is it running? Also was disk 2 always marked as a spare?
I would try per-incident support next, I think it is likely that they can remount the volume w/o needing data recovery. Data Recovery has its own contract terms, and would be expensive if it is needed.
BTW, your understanding of XRAID2/RAID-5 is a bit off. If disk 2 was a spare, it was never part of your array. Normally with three disks, you'd see all disks as "ok".
