X-RAID2 lost redundancy - NV+ v2

The front LCD and the admin web page both state that the two X-RAID2 drives are unprotected/Not-Redundant.  There are no errors in the logs, both drives are 'green' on the info page, and none have any errors.  I rebooted the system and fsck on boot.  No errors.

Why was redundancy lost?  How do I recover it?

FWIW the firmware is 5.3.10

  • Just upgraded to 5.3.12, in case that affects the actions I can take.

        Thanks for the reply. I'm assuming there was an I/O error which caused the user RAID to fail, and the system RAID partition is still good. The latest SMART report doesn't show any issues. Since SMART is reporting that the drive is good, I'm going to resync the drive and start pricing replacement drives. Is there any way to resync without pulling the drive and plugging it back in? If not, what steps would I take? Should I pull and reinsert the drive while it's hot, or should I power down, remove, power up, power down, reinsert, power up?
