Ben, thanks I pulled the unit down yesterday, pulled the drives out, starred hard at the bare drives for a little while, then, pushed them back in (same slots) started up, it all seemed to work I wasn't quite sure what to run from console, so used the web i/f to run smart tests on all drives, all OK but, 'check disk' failed to run, and, on one of several power up (I was also testing UPS shut down/restart) so I reformatted to whole volume, and, now it seems OK EXCEPT, LCD panel has message about HD4 ejected, and, googleing for HD info (WDC WD1002FBYS-02A6B03.0) brought another QNAP user (Raid5) reporting same drive failing after just few weeks from bnew... anyhow, I think I'll see how it goes over next few days --------- [Strip Disk Volume: Drive 1 2 3 4] The file system is not clean. It is suggested that you run "check disk". -------- 20:19:02 System 127.0.0.1 localhost [Strip Disk Volume: Drive 1 2 3 4] Examination failed. 20:04:03 System 127.0.0.1 localhost [Strip Disk Volume: Drive 1 2 3 4] Start examination. ------- 08:36:07 System 127.0.0.1 localhost [Strip Disk Volume: Drive 1 2 3 4] Examination completed. 08:26:02 System 127.0.0.1 localhost [Strip Disk Volume: Drive 1 2 3 4] Start examination. -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
