Readynas Pro 6 - Err Used disks Check RAIDar

I have a ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer edition with six 2TB disks running OS6 that now displays "ERR: Used disks Check RAIDar" when booting.  

 

This problem occurred recently when i swith it on after standart shutdown (not power outage).

Is it possible to do something without factory reset?

I am not sure about OS reinstall on legacy models running OS6, but if it can help, i may try.

TNX!

Re: Readynas Pro 6 - Err Used disks Check RAIDar

If it were my system, I'd test the disks with vendor tools in a windows PC (seatools for seagate, lifeguard for western digital).  Replace any that fail (or which have more than 50 reallocated+pending sectors).

 

Then do a factory reset with all disks in place.  Reconfigure the NAS and restore the data from the backup.

You can use the OS reinstall from the boot menu.  I don't know if that will fix it, but it is worth a try.

Thank you for answer.

I have try to make OS Reinstall, device reboot and stuck at "Booting... Checking root FS" (more then 1 hour).

Re: Readynas Pro 6 - Err Used disks Check RAIDar

I had a similar experience yesterday with my Pro 4.

Powering down the NAS and using Reinstall OS from the Boot Menu again then worked successfully

How long you waited for checking root FS?

as far as i understand 4gb roos FS internal flash is broken (my NAS have about 6 years uptime). is it true? how to solve this problem? is it possible to boot from flash in USB port and use it for root FS?

 

by the way, sometimes, my NAS starting ok, but frozen in 1-2mins. it is impossible to do something when NAS starts ok. 

 

TNX for answers!

I don't think your flash is damaged - if it were, you'd likely have failed to boot into tech support mode.  It's more likely that the OS partition on the disks is damaged (along with the data volume's file system).  /dev/md0 is the OS partition on the disks.

 

You can test this by installing a scratch disk in the NAS by itself, and attempt to do a factory reset from the boot menu.  If that works, then problem is with the disks, not the flash.

exactly! you are right.

what should I do further?

I do a backup, of course. and... and what's next? my disks have 4-6 years uptime... I have to buy new disks?

and why system corrupt so heavy? volume was RAID5. Upon failure of a single drive, subsequent reads can be calculated from the distributed parity such that no data is lost.

Re: Readynas Pro 6 - Err Used disks Check RAIDar

If it were my system, I'd test the disks with vendor tools in a windows PC (seatools for seagate, lifeguard for western digital).  Replace any that fail (or which have more than 50 reallocated+pending sectors).

 

Then do a factory reset with all disks in place.  Reconfigure the NAS and restore the data from the backup.
