Title: Help: Raid1 disappeared from one drive
Post by: MikeOLbinski on August 23, 2011, 06:55:08 PM

Hey guys,

Need some help here. Just was browsing my config tonight and realized one of my drives is suddenly JBOD, not RAID1. Scared the crap out of me.

I don't see a safe way to go ahead and convert the JBOD to RAID1 and then sync the data again.

Any ideas to help me out here?

Mike

Right. It didn't show degraded until I removed the JBOD, restarted. Then it shows degraded.

Now I put the JBOD back in (right bay) and now I think all I need to do is a Manual Rebuild...and I'm kind of hesitant to do it. But I'm also backing up that main drive right now so I'll be covered if I do go ahead to rebuild.

I think it will be safe right? I just want to make sure.

The first thing you need to do is backup all of your data (which you are doing). You should always maintain a current separate physical backup of your data.  Next you can rebuild the array.

You are on the right track. . .

To prevent the DNS-323 from recognizing the JBOD volume, you can mount the JBOD HDD in another PC, remove the partition, and then place it back in the DNS-323.
