Possible Disk Failure
I have an RN202 with two (2) Seagate 1TB NAS drives installed. The unit has been running with out issue for several months. A few minutes ago, it started to send out warning emails that said: "Detected increasing reallocated sector count: [3728] on disk 2 (Internal) [ST31000528AS 9VP4319G] 47 times in the past 30 days. This condition often indicates an impending failure. Be prepared to replace this disk to maintain data redundancy." Over the course of 22 minutes I received 29 emails and then they suddenly stopped. I am remote from the unit right now so I can't check the Admin panel but I did log in to ReadyCloud and the Status is green and says Healthy. Is this really an indication that the drive is failing and if so, why would it suddently stop sending warning messages? Currently, none of the data on the drives are critical and it is all duplicated on another platform so I'm not really concerned with data loss but if a drive is failing I would want to replace it sooner rather than later. Any guidance would be appreciated. regards, DavidSolved2.6KViews0likes3Comments
