Replacing Failed Drive Possible Bug?
Yesterday I replaced on of the 3TB drives in my RN312. It was in the second bay. I left the NAS powered up, removed the drive in bay 2, replaced the drive with an identical new drive and reinserted ...
I had the same experience yesterday, and it freaked me out too!
OS4 had nice, relaxed messages like "Data Unprotected", and "Re-syncing".
OS6 has replaced this with panic-inducing and misleading messages like 'DATA DEGRADED!" and, when you replace the disk, "Recover data".
This is a crock, because the data has not been degraded, and data has not been lost (they're talking about loss of redundancy, but that's a different thing)
What's more, I had to deal with this BS "System will shut down in 30 minutes due to disk failure", which didn't go away even after I replaced the disk.
Why is there a shut-down in the first place? Isn't the WHOLE IDEA of a fault-tolerant system that it CAN KEEP GOING AFTER A DISK FAILURE?
AAGGH!! :evil:
I'm angry. What has happened to this product??
