Linkstation Quad 4TB Down
« on: September 13, 2009, 09:59:51 PM »
   

I powered down my Linkstation Quad to move it.  When I powered it back on I can no longer see it on the network except I think I can ping it (not sure about the address).  It is blinking 1 long and 7 short amber lights (I think amber, anyway) on the front panel.  From what I've been able to gather, it is rebuilding the RAID array.  How long should this take?  Should I be worried about the stored data?  Should I power it off and just RMA it?


Thanks.

   Rebuild the RAID can take lot of time, depending on your data, configuration, etc. You can see the progress % in the webadmin page.

   I can't seem to connect to it with webadmin right now.  Is there some trick to do so while it is rebuilding?

How long has it been rebuilding for?  If its been more than 12hrs then you will want to RMA the unit.  If its having problems rebuilding the Arrau then the RAID controller could be going out.

   Thanks for the replies.  It took about 20 hours or so, but it is rebuilt and seems to be working now.
