Recamended order for maintenance: (Scrub, Defrag, Balance, Disk Test).
I read the suggested schedule for maintenance activities but did not see a recommended order. Some activities will affect the condition that other activities correct (eg; scrubbing may affect fragmentation). Is there a recommended order to maintenance activities? Thanks in advance Radjin~Solved3.2KViews0likes6CommentsVolume: Disk test failed to start
I have scheduled disk test to run every Tue 9am, and it had been doing so for some time. Today, "Volume: Disk test failed to start for volume N316AR6". NAS seems to be working, no other unusual messages. I found lots of references here to test failures, but nothing on start failures. ??1.9KViews0likes6CommentsDisk test will not stop.
I have a ReadyNas 516 with 6 8TB drives. I started getting errors on the Raid-5 volume with one of the drives started having ATA errors... Disk: Detected increasing reallocated sector count: [33360] on disk 6 (Internal) I ended up replacing the drive upon replacing the drive it went into a resync and when finished it started a disk test. It has been in disk test mode now for more than a month and the volume is still read only. I have tried to delete files off of this volume to have more space and the delete appears to work only to do a refresh on the shares page to see that they are still there. I found other help here on how to cancel this "Disk Test" but I have no cancel feature as stated in other posts and I have tried to turn off the ReadyNas multiple times to stop the "Disk Test". But upon reboot, the disk test start up automatically and has been running now as I have said more than a month. I have backed up most of the data. But reading data off of this volume can take upto 10 minutes for just 1 GB file to transfer. Does anyone know how to shut this disk test off? Oh... there is ZERO help from Netgear.
