Replaced failing disk in NV+ v2 - both volume expansion and volume scan fail
Hi folks, I'm getting some slightly peculiar behaviour from my NV+ v2, and would really appreciate some help in troubleshooting. A week or so ago, I started getting errors on disk 1 of my NAS...
Expansion is also failing due to memory allocation
resize2fs: Memory allocation failed while trying to resize /dev/c/c
I don't own a v2 - but if you know of a place where the amount of memory is displayed, you should check to make sure that it is seeing 256MB.
I also suggest a memory test from the boot menu (http://www.readynas.com/download/documentation/HM/ReadyNAS_Duov2_NV+v2_HW_en_19-Sept-11.pdf ). Unfortunately Netgear doesn't disclose how to tell if the test passed/failed. But you could take a short video, and post the link here, they should be able to interpret the results here.
Are you the original purchaser? If so, when did you purchase? The warrany is 3 years. If you are still covered I think you have have enough evidence of a hardware fault that they should diagnose it w/o charge
I just looked up my receipt for purchasing the unit: looks like the timing is good! 30 Sep 2012. So I'd better get on with diagnosing any hardware failure.
