hey guys i am running a ReadyNAS NV+ running RAIDiator 4.1.12 now the problem is that it told me to do a volume scan so i did one in frontview and it just froze and i had to take the power out to reboot i also did a volume scan after boot and it will get to 62% and just stop, i have done this a number of times and it will do the same now when i was running RAIDiator 4.1.11 i had this problem it would hang at 60% something but once rebooted it worked the hdds are new this year and they are all ok in smart view should i go back to RAIDiator 4.1.11 or any ideas?? i am running x raid and are all 2tb drives
hey guys the rma is been approved and i will send it tomorrow, just wondering about how i go to replace it, i know to take it out and then replace with new drive but i have 4 drives when i take the faulty one out can i still use the nas?? i have x raid setup with 4 x 2tb drives
If you are using xraid or raid-5, then you can remove the drive (either with the NAS running or powered down) and you will still be able to access the volume. It won't be redundant, so a second disk failure will destroy the array (so updating your backup would be a good idea).
When the new disk arrives, hot-insert it into the NAS (with it running). The drive will then be tested, and the array will be rebuilt to include the new drive. You can still use the NAS during the resync/rebuild process, but it will be somewhat slower than usual.
