Hi,
I have a very faithful Terrastation ( HS-D1.0TGL/R5 on latest Firwmware V2.03 with 4 disks in RAID 1 i.e. two RAID 1 arrays ) that has suddenly started to fail to accept packets. No changes have been made to the config in over a year,
If I re-boot it I get 10 minutes of Network access where I can access all the data and then I can't ping it any longer. It's not the Network itself as I have changed the Switch/Cable and also direct attached it to a PC. The Link/ACT light still flickers blue as if it sees/sends packets but the PING to it fails. The latest NAS navigtaor also fails to see it when the Networking dies ( as you would expect ).
The LED's are interesting......they act normally for 10 minutes bugt when the networking dies they exhibit the following :
Hard Drive Status (3, 5, 8, and 10) – blink green as if a disk check is in progress
Hard Drive Access (6 and 9) – are static green ( 4 & 7 are off despite their being 4 disks and two RAID 1 arrays built )
If I re-boot I get normal LED activity and network / NAS Navigator access data access until it goes into this network death mode.
I re-installed Firmware v2.03 but that did not help.
I am also wonderingif I can take out one of the disks in the RAID 1 array and attach it to my SATA dock and recover the share via UFS Explorer to access the XFS data ?
All advice greatfully accepted!
