LinkStation LS-WXL/R1 Disk Error, Disk Replaced, Still Can't Format in Maintenance Mode, No Raid

[xbrain]

 

Hello Masters,

 

I am new to this Buffalo Nas device.

I owned Linkstation :

 

 

• LS-WXL/R1 
• Firmware 1.34 (DTCP-IP:1.26-20100412)

 

Recently I received message:

 

DISK Error Notification

HDD error occurred
Disk(s) the error occurred:Disk 1 

(sda) WRITE sector:8249937 count:3
Disk writing error
Some data may not be recoverable.
Immediate change of disk is recommended.

Setting Screen: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

 

Action taken :

 

 

• Shutdown NAS
• Take out faulty hard disk
• Replace hard disk with new same type of hard disk
• Switch on NAS
• Go to maintenance mode to check/format disk
• Nothing can be changed (see screenshot)
• Disk 1 Still not detected
• Update firmware to 1.34

 

 

Question:

 

 

• How to make new disk workable?
• Is there any way to have other partition than XFS for both hard disk without Raid?
• How to get this NAS workable like before?

guys,

 

no one reply?

 

the only solution is to remove the hard disk, replace new one and format everything (both hard disk)?

 

but why i can see only XFS format available? where is ext3, ntfs, fat32 format option?

quit your moaning.

what raid did you have it in? There is no option to format the HDD to fat32, ext4 or ntfs because the drives need to be XFS. what raid mode did you have the unit in or did you just leave it out of the box.

 

Do a f*%$ing search, these questions have been answered MANY times hense why no one responded.

davo,

 

pardon me for my word.

 

I did a thorough and fu**king search and I could not find the answer. If I've got the answer, I will not open a thread over here.

 

No raid configuration involved. Not even RAID 0.

 

Question is:

 

Hard disk error.

I replace new hard disk (hard disk 2) into the same slot. Hard disk is using same brand, same size and same model.

I could not do anything even to format it. 

 

Existing configuration, both hard disk work independent. No raid involved. As you can see in the screenshot attached.

 

Thanks anyway.

with this kind of error, you need to contact your local support, before the error gets worse.
