The unexpected bit of this is the warning that was given when I removed the failing drive. The system warned that the System would be shut down in 30min. I reinserted a new drive 2 min. later, the disk was recognized and the rebuild started. Then during the rebuild (30 min. later) the system shut down. This freaked me out initially, but I restarted the system and the volume rebuild continued normally until it finished successfully.
I guess the bug part could be is why did the system still shut down, even though it had a valid device in bay 2 and the rebuild had started. I would assume that if there were a drive failure and the failure state continued for 30 min, then a shutdown would occur.
Your thoughts?
Yeah, sounds like a bug to me, too. I imagine that it's not THAT big a deal, aside from the brief unavailability of the shares on the NAS, because the shutdown is orderly and the resync process apparently continues after the restart with no ill effects.
I replaced a drive in my Pro Pioneer this week, but I don't have it configured to shut down on a single-drive failure, so I don't know whether the older OS4 systems have the same behavior as your OS6 system.
