I mirrored the drives in the web interface, copied data, and it's mirrored no problem
However, the red LED's for disk 3 and disk 4 are still illuminated, and the error light is bright red as well.
I found an interesting directory, /etc/melco, which seems to contain configuration files. One in particular, /etc/melco/diskinfo, contains array and disk information so I made a minor change:
disk1=array1
disk2=array1
disk3=
disk4=
?
In place of a carriage return for disk3/disk4 I also tired "off" but the Terastation Live keeps checking and then complaining disk3 and disk4 are missing.
The LCD, upon booting, also says "HD used 1_2_3_4" so I know there are other places the number of drives is set.
Is that in the scripts themselves, or in some kind of central configuration file?
I can sftp all the scripts over and "SED" them to replace do in 1 2 3 4 with do in 1 2 if I have to, but I was hoping to avoid lobotomizing the unit in that fashion off the stock scripts.
