Hello,
I have a Buffalo Duo LS-WXL. It is configured in RAID1.
Here is a short summary of strange behaviors: I had trouble to upgrade the firmware. I tried to check the RAID1 array but it never complete. After 7 day I had to cancel it. I have performance problem with Debian Lenny 5.0 CIFS client. My NAS seems to never responds to some requests.
I suspect a drive problem, but I am not able to put the finger on it.
Now, I have tried to remove a disk from a RAID1 array and the NAS device has decided to shutdown. Why ? What do I have to do to restart it ?
