e2fsck failed during boot
I recently installed two WD Red 6TB drives to my ReadyNAS Duo v2. I was able to install and initialize the drives; however, during boot up, Volume scan failed to run properly. Here is the boot log:
***** File system check forced at Sun Apr 26 00:22:04 EDT 2015 *****
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
Superblock last mount time is in the future.
(by less than a day, probably due to the hardware clock being incorrectly set) Fix? yes
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Error allocating block bitmap (4): Memory allocation failed
e2fsck: aborted
I have tried adding the /etc/e2fsck.conf file and see the cache files been created. However, the scan still fails. Any suggestions? Thanks

- Do you have a backup?
What version of RAIDiator are you running?
We have no 6TB disks on the compatibility list for the Duo v2. They may be incompatible.
I think with just 256MB RAM there may not be enough memory to do a volume scan with the disks you have installed. - I am actually building it from scratch; therefore, I'm not worrying about losing data. I'm running with the latest RAIDiator 5.3.11 for ARM. Although the system seems to be working functionally, other than cannot do a volume scan, I am worried that the NAS may not be stable in the long run.
- I have changed the file system to JBOD, and it's able to scan the volume properly. I think RAID 1 also works fine.
