Evening all, did some work and part of the payment was a readynas pro 6. It has 6 disks, 2 were dead so I have (4) seagate 3T disks. I did a factory reset, have networking working, but I can't get info on the volume.
I have (4) 3T disks, bays 1-4. Raidar is installed on both mac/windows and the docs I read show these volume setups, etc. but I see none of that. When I am in the app, I have admin page, browse and locate. Status is Healthy, and if I click browse, I see a bunch of shares, admin, home, test, backup, media. I even put a file in the admin folder, went to the mac, and sure enough can see it.
But from the admin, I click volumes and get an error saying "No volumes exists. Some menu options are available only if a valid volume exists". Same error with the Share Listing.
The admin page also shows all green except the disk: is blnking yellow, and if you goto status/health I see disks 1-4 green status OK, 5/6 show the old drives and Dead. I dont want to run out and get 2 new disks, so can I just wipe those?
So all the above leads me to ask why is there no volume, share as I don't want some of the existing but also want to start using the device.
LOVE active forums! I mayhave done a software reset as you mentioned.
I am using Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 disks.
Firmware is RAIDiator 4.2.26 (I did try the .27 but told the architecture was wrong, so have to re-visit that).
So I did the factory reset which sure enough gave me my setup! Since the 4 are 3T disks I am going with the added 2nd disk protect (as the drives are not 100% new), but appreciate the quick response.
Personally I'd avoid the DM disks (based on user experiences posted here). When the time comes to replace them, I suggest using NAS-purposed drives (Seagate VN line, WDC Red or Red Pro).
Dual redundancy/RAID-6 is good if you can afford to lost the space (and you have 2 free slots for expansion).
