Ultra6 rebuild always ends with "complete" and then "Dead"
I have an Ultra6 where drive 1 failed, so I bought a new drive 1, and then it started rebuilding. After popping up a dialog that the rebuild was complete, it told me that my array was dead because of...
Yes, my biggest complaint here is that netgear failed to give me a user option to ignore the drive errors and complete the rebuild anyway and just tell me which files are now corrupted by the roughly ~4k of bad blocks vs declaring the whole array dead...
On the RN516, the backup is *larger* than the original ultra6 data used. I am collecting a full list of files on the RN516 backup today so I can compare with a full list of files on the ultra6 after I finish rebuilding it outside of the ultra6 in a dedicated linux machine. At least in linux as I get the list of bad sectors, I can literally force rewrite of zero those sectors to get them reallocated until the rebuild succeeds without the drive throwing any errors. I guess I could root the ultra6 and put the right tools on there (like hdparm) if they aren't already there, but I didn't want to void any remaining warranty.
