[SOLVED]ReadyNas Duo v1 on-disk raid format vs. linux mdraid
Hello 2all, My relative had been happy using ReadyNas Duo for about two years till recent month when suddenly things went out wrong without prior warning. He had received a mail from NAS telling ab...
Yes that is misleading.
Long before the Duo v2 was developed there was a minor hardware change to the Duo v1 (I think probably one forced due to availability of parts). So NetGear put that sticker on units to indicate the difference. Probably useful for NetGear to be able to quickly determine what hardware they're dealing with when troubleshooting defective units returned via RMAs. Have a read of e.g. How to tell whether I have a Duo v1 or Duo v2 or NV+ v1 or NV+ v2 which lists several ways you can tell the difference between a Duo v1 and Duo v2.
Another thing worth noting is the Duo has a 3 year warranty (if purchased brand new). So if you put some new disks from the http://www.readynas.com/hard_disk_hcl in the Duo and still have problems with it you should open a tech support case. If support determines the unit is defective then it could be replaced with a refurbished unit via RMA.
Edit: beaten.
