Purchased 12TB ReadyNas 214, only seeing 8TB available.
I purchased the 12TB model of NETGEAR ReadyNAS 214, 4x3TB Desktop (RN214D43-100NES) on Amazon, but I only appear to be getting 8TB, and I'm wondering if they sent me the wrong model? See "data 8.17 free of 8.17" In "Volumes", the display on the right indicates I DO have 4x3TB (which should = 12TB), but the display on the left still shows only 8.17 TB available. Is this a result of RAID 5 and all is normal? Or is something wrong? Where are are my other 4TBs? I'm on a Macbook using OS X Yosemite 10.10.5, and firmware 6.4.1. Thanks in advance for any help! ParkerReadyNAS NV+ Freezing/Locking up. Diagnostic Help Please!
Hey Guys, My reliable ReadyNAS has been given me issues this last week. It's a ReadyNAS NV+ v1 loaded with 4x2TB WD Green drives. FW is current at 4.1.14. I'm posting here becasue I found this thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Hardware-Compatibility/ReadyNAS-NV-hangs-freezes-please-help-diagnose-24042647/td-p/931232 Which is the identical symptoms I am getting from my unit. The unit boots, starts a FS and Quota check since I had to hard unplug it due to the power button being non-responsive since this started happening. After the 2 hours that check takes to complete, I can access shares/web console etc for about 30 min. Then the activity lights stop, the power button becomes unresponsive, and share access stops. In the thread linked above, it looks like there was 'Current_Pending_Sector' value which indicated a failing/bad disk. I'm hoping having someone's input on the logs will point at the same issue with mine and not some logic board issues or hardware problem. Keeping the data intact and accessible is my priority at this point. I have been able to extract the logs and loaded them here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7tgX-P1b8UgbTA3blk2VWZ1TkE/view?usp=sharing Any input would be greatly appreacited. Thanks -ken
