Volume Settings Missing Options
Hi,
I have two 6-bay Pros at my work. Today, I went to setup snapshots and consistency checks, but I ran into a problem on nas1: The options are not available. On nas2, the options are present. I have tried different browsers.


Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Brett

- vandermerweMasterIs your firmware up to date on both units, if so have you tried reinstalling firmware?
Are the Raid settings and volume settings the same on both units? - Yes, the firmware are up to date (4.2.21) and both units are using xraid2 with dual redundancy (6 disks).
I'll try reinstalling the firmware on nas1 and see if that fixes it.
Thanks,
Brett - vandermerweMasterI think snapshot resizing is still disabled in the current firmware:

Does setting the snapshot schedule tie into the re-sizing of snapshots? - vandermerweMaster1. To get the snapshot screen to reappear you will need to recreate the volume and set up a snapshot at that stage. You will need to backup data first.
2. To get the vol cons check to reappear you must ensure that journalling is enabled. Strangely, I have full data journaling disabled and I have the vol consistency option active. You might want to try different journaling settings. - Ok. I'm backing up the data right now. I'll recreate the volume.
I have full data journaling disabled on both of the other units and the volume consistency check is present on those, as well. - vandermerweMasterCreate a snapshot size of at least 10GB.
You are aware that recreating the volume will mean you need to restore your data from the backup.
With a snapshot allocation the vol cons option should reappear.
