Replace Drives

New larger disks coming up short!
I have a ReadyNAS NV+ V2 [X-RAID], 256MB, which was running 4 X 320G HDD, reported at 294G each. It was chugging away for about 8 months: I got hold of 4 x 1T WD green drives for an upgrade. Believe it or not, I read the manual. It said, hotplug one drive at a time and the magic will happen. I checked a few forums and sure enough, lots of folks are saying hotplug replace one drive at a time, and the magic will happen. I hotplug replaced one drive with one of the WD 1Ts. The magice started. A day or so later finally there was a message the the new drive had been re synchronized, resynchronized and now the array was full redundant. Total capacity remained at 294G per drive, although the WD was shown at 931G. I understand that. I repeated the exercise for the other drives, one at a time, and today I got the end of the process. Not bad, only four days.... Unfortunately, the array did not resize: RAID Disks: Ch 1 : WDC WD10EADS-00L5B1 [931 GB] 294 GB allocated Ch 2 : WDC WD10EAVS-00D7B1 [931 GB] 294 GB allocated Ch 3 : WDC WD10EAVS-32D7B1 [931 GB] 294 GB allocated Ch 4 : WDC WD10EAVS-00D7B1 [931 GB] 294 GB allocated What have I missed?Solved3.2KViews0likes7Comments
Readynas 104 - Drive replacement / drive addition
BLUF: Purchased 2 new WD Red 3tb Drives (WD30EFRX) to add to my existing 3x 1tb Drives. Which drive do I remove and in which order? Add the 4th and wait add and remove? So that Bottom Line up Front should give you an idea of what im asking, I did some searches on how to add drives or replace drives, but since I only have 3 drives in my 104 I just want to make sure Im doing it correctly. I purchased this ReadyNAS to get some data redundancy on my network (media etc), so I am using my old workstation drives in the NAS (I know bad idea, but I already built the array before researching). Here are the drives and their SMART specs: Model Family: Western Digital Caviar Green Device Model: WDC WD10EADS-11M2B1 SMART Attributes Data Structure revision number: 16 Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x002f 200 170 051 Pre-fail Always - 0 3 Spin_Up_Time 0x0027 124 107 021 Pre-fail Always - 6800 4 Start_Stop_Count 0x0032 055 055 000 Old_age Always - 45074 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 200 200 140 Pre-fail Always - 0 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x002e 100 253 000 Old_age Always - 0 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 052 052 000 Old_age Always - 35631 10 Spin_Retry_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 11 Calibration_Retry_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 517 192 Power-Off_Retract_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 229 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 180 180 000 Old_age Always - 61742 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 104 089 000 Old_age Always - 43 196 Reallocated_Event_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0030 200 200 000 Old_age Offline - 0 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate 0x0008 200 200 000 Old_age Offline - 0 Model Family: Western Digital Caviar Green (AF) Device Model: WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x002f 200 200 051 Pre-fail Always - 0 3 Spin_Up_Time 0x0027 191 185 021 Pre-fail Always - 6441 4 Start_Stop_Count 0x0032 094 094 000 Old_age Always - 6277 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 200 200 140 Pre-fail Always - 0 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x002e 100 253 000 Old_age Always - 0 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 062 062 000 Old_age Always - 28299 10 Spin_Retry_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 11 Calibration_Retry_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 514 192 Power-Off_Retract_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 351 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 038 038 000 Old_age Always - 487882 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 101 098 000 Old_age Always - 46 196 Reallocated_Event_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0030 200 200 000 Old_age Offline - 0 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate 0x0008 200 200 000 Old_age Offline - 0 Model Family: Western Digital Black Device Model: WDC WD1002FAEX-00Y9A0 ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x002f 200 200 051 Pre-fail Always - 21 3 Spin_Up_Time 0x0027 174 171 021 Pre-fail Always - 4291 4 Start_Stop_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 991 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 200 200 140 Pre-fail Always - 0 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x002e 100 253 000 Old_age Always - 0 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 065 064 000 Old_age Always - 26270 10 Spin_Retry_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 11 Calibration_Retry_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 507 192 Power-Off_Retract_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 240 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 750 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 101 092 000 Old_age Always - 46 196 Reallocated_Event_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0030 200 200 000 Old_age Offline - 0 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate 0x0008 200 200 000 Old_age Offline - 0 Drive Usage Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md127 1943821568 997890704 944950192 52% /data So As you can see I have two greens and a black WD drives, I have tried to decide if its most risky to keep the black in their or pull the black. Let me know team! I appreciate the asistance.Solved
