Here is my 2 cents worth. The only issue here is whether or not the device is offline. If there is an F it is offline. I believe the NRD is a throw back to the old days when you could flip a switch that would READY or NOT READY the physical drive. That is no longer valid with RAID, Shark and others of this ilk.
There are times when you will really see OFFLINE and other times you will see F-NRD. Both are acceptable to indicate a device is Offline. If I am wrong, please feel free to correct - especially you dinos out there. Is the NRD a throwback or some other indicator.
