Ultra4 and disk change

Hi All,

 

few months ago I have replaced my 4 disks from my Readynas Ultra4 with new ones. Now I need to rollback and reinsert my old disks.

 

problem: Now I can't remember which disk should be in the corresponding slot. Is there a solution?

 

Thank you for your help

    FWIW, I always recommend labeling the disks by slot as you remove them.

     

    If you have an old log zip file, you could look in there to find the order.

     

    But the NAS should boot up ok with the disks in any order.  The main reason to preserve slot order as it can simplify some troubleshooting.
