: LinkStation™ Quad - LS-QL/R5 - Hotswap failed. Orange / amber lights
: deciBel April 07, 2015, 03:27:48 PM

My second harddrive failed the other day, so today I tried to install a new drive to "hotswap"...
I had a power-failure in the house the other day, and it put my NAS out of the game.. after a bit of error checking I found out that disc 2 in my NAS, failed.


1: I removed the faulty drive (physically)
2: I inserted a new cleen drive, and formatted it.
3: Now I am trying to rebuild the raid (5) ...but it doesnt seem to want to do it.

Right now I am doing a Raid check to see if it finds any errors. All drives are blinking green since it is beeing scanned, but I have an amber / orange light blinking one long, and 4 short blinks. repetedly...


What does that tell me?

And have I f*** up the Raid 5 rebuild procedure ?

Um, you cannot hotswop disks on this unit!
