: LinkStation (v.1.74) Storage & Storage Buttons Inaccessible
: TechSupportWagon July 24, 2019, 05:51:38 PM
NAS Information:
Firmware: 1.74
Product: LinkStation Duo - LS-WX4.0TL/R1

I am experiencing several issues with our LinkStation NAS: the first is that from what I can tell from downloading the files through the NAS' site using the keyboard shortcut that one or both of the drives appear to be inaccessible due to old age in the messages.gz files. I show that one is still up on the website and the other one shows as offline. If I am reading correctly, both have flags for going offline, but I showing only one as offline.

I have been informed that the drives were setup by someone as RAID 1 (mirrored). When I look in the RAID Array section of the web interface, I show "Array 1" as Not Configured. Disk 2 shows as Status "Array 1", but Disk 1 shows as "Error". All of the button "Check Disk", "Format Disk", "Remove Disk", and "Rediscover Disk" are greyed out and inaccessible. Under RAID Scanning, I show it as disabled and the "Modify Settings" and "Abort RAID Scanning" are also greyed out.

I am unable to see the contents of the drives and show Storage set to "Not Available".

Here is what one of the message logs show:

I am also not able to send emails from the NAS which is how this was overlooked in the first place. The settings look to be correct for Office 35 SMTP, but I am getting an error when I try to send a test message.

I am reaching out to see how to get the RAID array buttons and the disk buttons ("check disk", "format disk", etc) accessible again. Why does it show both as offline and old_age when I can see that only one is in an error state and the other is in an array?

Both disks are demaged

you have not fixed the WD green bug
https://forum.nas-hilfe.de/festplatten-und-ssd-laufwerke/western-digital-in-einer-ls-xhl-load-cycle-count-t1435.html


But disk 2 has actually no Current_Pending_Sector

remove disk1 and start the nas
with Raid1 you should be able to backup your data

a second way to restore a raid1 disk:

Thank you! That's what I had been wondering after seeing the scans for both. I was able to show the RAID as being healthy when I pulled disk 1, but was no longer able to even navigate to it and attempt to access it with a password. Before I had removed it, it would let me navigate to it and show me the drives and prompt through a password though none of the credentials seemed to work any longer.

I have connected the working drive to my computer and while it sees it as a drive to eject, it does not allow me to access the contents which I could see since RAID seems to be tied to Linux. I am now making a Linux boot drive to try to read the contents of the working drive. Hopefully, that will allow me to recover it for now until I purchase some new drives (and perhaps a new NAS).
