ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus - Volume C on life support
So, I'm having a bad week I guess... My setup : ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus [X-RAID2] 6x3Tb Firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.28 Memory: 1024 MB [6-6-6-18 DDR2] Volume C: Online, X-RAID2, 6 disks, 78% of 13 TB used 1. Disk 6 reported as dead. I saw a very high "raw read error" via the SMART popup just 2 days before on 3 disks(intuition but not reacted fast enough...) 2. Turn off the NAS. Order another WD Red 3 Tb. Intense fear : all my drives are from the same batch. Tried to avoid that in 2012 but ended up with the same "family"…:x 3. New drive is here. I change drive 6. I check the old one : yep it's dead. 4. New drive 6 is checked, passed, Volume C starts to sync. 5. I checked the front panel some hours later, I see Vol C in Lifesupport. Panic. 6. Check the admin : drive 6 in reported as Spare (!) with a red cross in the green dot. 7. Log says the Resync on Volume C did finish. 8. Drive 3 is marked "dead". Volume + disk "led" in the admin are flashing yellow. Damn. Timing. 9. Turn off the NAS, coming here for advices. I can't find any real support link to ask for help from NETGEAR. In the old days we could have some help from a remote tech to help. What do I do now? What's my best next move to try to save my stuff? (Yeah the important work stuff is in the cloud too but I'd love to save my medias...) Thanks for any tips / link. I'm in France btw.Solved4.2KViews0likes5Comments
