RN212 - Removed one disk, now cant see data on remaining disk
I've added an eda500 to my rn314 and want to migrate disks & data from the old rn212.
I powered the rn212 down and removed one disk. I then added this to the EDA500 and set up a new volume on ...
Hi,
It was a 2 disk mirror (x-raid). If I go into the volumes tab, theres a message "remove inactive volumes to use disk. Disk #2"
I would expect everything to work fine with one mirror removed, it should just be degradded.
Thanks
That is the expectation. But waiting until you already re-formatted the second drive before checking the first would give you a degraded volume was not your best choice. Best would have been to remove the drive with power on. Second best would be to at least re-boot before re-formatting.
It appears that something did get corrupted on your drive and it now no longer has the other to recover from. On the outside chance it's just the OS partition, you can try an OS re-install.
