Disk 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.
