Unresponsive Frontview after failed hard drive swap
Last week we had a ReadyNas Duo (sparc) running raidiator 4.1.8 start sending us SMART errors on drive 1. One of the techs went out, powered off the NAS, replaced disk 1, and then powered it back on. Things were working somewhat upon boot, the tech saw that the drives were resyncing, and most shares were available via CIFS. Frontview was not available.
Jump to this week, Frontview is still unavailable, when looking at Raidar, it was telling us the sync was at 27%, and still showing data from the old disk 1. Trying to run with a single drive didn't help. We tried resetting the OS (holding the reset button for 5 seconds upon power on), that didn't work. We finally put a blank drive into the NAS, did a full factory reset, and now frontview is functioning properly.
So we currently have a NAS, with one disk, that wasn't part of the original raid, functioning properly, but with factory default settings. We have a functioning disk 2 thats not plugged in to the NAS, that, in theory, has all of our data on it. We have a disk 1 that was part of the original setup, that we don't know whats on it, because we don't think the re-sync ever finished. We also have the original disk 1 before we replaced it, thats bad.
Is their any way to put this back together without losing all of our data?
