One of the disk was showing increasing Smart errors, so I ordered a replacement disk (ST3000VN000) -to replace the failing disk. No big deal I thought. I had assumed that the failing disk was disk4 - a 3Tb Seagate disk I'd ad some smart errors on before - as I didn't read the emails closely enough. When I was getting an email every few minutes, I shut down the NAS to wait for the replacement disk. It arrived, and I replaced disk 4 with the new disk, and booted up. The system stayed at booting for some time - whilst I now read the message which made it clear that the failing disk was Disk 1. I powered down the NAS. I now replaced the original disk 4 - a ST33000650NS and rebooted. This appeared to work, and the Nas came up and the SMART error messages flooded in. I decided to hotswop the failing disk, Disk 1 (ST2000VN000-1H3164). Then it all started to go wrong..... I get the messages in the following order: Disk removal detected - Disk1 Raid event detected - Data volume will be rebuilt with disk 4 New disk detected Disk 1 Raid event detected - Data volume will be rebuilt with disk 1 Then nothing happened - no raid sync on the volume, and most of my files dissapeared. I downloaded the logs using frontview, and then looked at the volume status - which showed that the X-raid was dead, and that I had two spare disks. That was midnight, so I left the NAS until this morning. (No sleep - a lot isn't backed up.....) This morning the NAS appeared to have dies - though I could look at front view, I couldn't refresh it - and the NAS front panel couldn't be brought to life. I've now powered it down and asking for help. What's the next step? I wonder if I can replace the faiing Disk1 back in order to rebuild the raid array, and when that's done replace it, taking any data hit as getting the Raid array back is the priority.Solved4.4KViews0likes12CommentsReadyNAS 1100 Bit the Dust in a Move. Any ideas for me?
In the madness of a home move, I left my readynas in my desk. I never dreamed the movers would flip the desk up on its side, but when I saw them do it and I heard my ReadyNAS flop around, I realized it could be a very bad thing. So, I just got my NAS out to power it up and upon putting the cord in and turning it on, nuttin.... No lights, no sounds. Just deadness. So, my thoughts are... Could it just be the power supply? Is there a way to test that? In worst case scenario, can I just take all the drives out and install them into my desktop in a raid formation and pick up where I left off? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Craig2.8KViews0likes7Comments
