ReadyNasUltra 4 dead #26795494
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.Solved4.4KViews0likes12Comments
All settings were reset and can't be changed any longer
I have not logged to my ReadyNAS for some time, it was working fine, and all of a sudden I noticed that the logs are empty, all pre-installed addons are disabled, the newly installed by me dissappeared, backup jobs, everything gone. I can't change any option anymore, I can't install new addons. The ReadyNAS doesn't even respond to reboot, or shutdown. I have ReadyNAS Ultra 4 with the latest available Radiator 4.2.27.Solved4KViews0likes13Comments
