Author Topic: After sync completed, it still wants to know what I want to do with hard drives  (Read 3614 times)

I just rebuilt my RAID1, and after the sync completed, I rebooted the dns-323, and when it came back up and I logged into it, it still asks what I want to do with the drives, eg. "Standard, JBOD, RAID0, RAID1".  I select "Skip", of course, because I have no desire to wipe the drives and refromat.  But given that it seems that the device is using the disks as a RAID1 already, why is it still asking me to configure the RAID controller, and more importantly, how can I get it to stop asking every time I log into the web admin console?

What is your RAID status if you skip and goto the status page?

After I hit "skip" it said it was rebuilding the RAID1, at first... I figured it might quit asking me to set up a RAID after it finished rebuilding, so I waited until it was done, and checked again, but it still asked me to set up RAID mode every time I logged in to the configuration console.  The status said rebuild completed.

After waiting a few days with no response from the forum to help me out, I eventually gave up, backed up all data off the device, flashed firmware to 1.08b5, and reformatted the disks ext3 and uploaded the files back up to it.

And everything is now working properly?

Yes... so far, so good, after using the 1.08b5 firmware since mid-August, on the re-formatted ext3, re-RAID1ed volume, it's been fine.

I'm still not crazy about how smb permissions are set on 1.08, with a new share created for the same directory to grant different permissions to a different user or group, but that's another story.  From a filesystem standpoint it appears to be stable now.
