Hi,
Today I have noticed that my unit led is blinking RED one long and two short blinks. I have rebooted the unit several times and it did not helped.
Then I logged in into the unit with SSH, checked the logs with cat /var/log/messages command and saw the following:
Feb 7 04:10:01 my-nas smart_logger[7534]: 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 033 033 036 Pre-fail Always FAILING_NOW 2762
So it looks like my hard drive is failing. Now I am trying to copy all the information I have on it back to my computer (and getting errors on specific files), but basically I need to replace the drive on the unit.
I have several questions regarding this procedure:
- Is it possible to replace the drive on the unit?
- Is it possible to install a bigger drive (today I have 2Tb)
- What kind of drive should I buy (I understand the drive installed is WD Green)
- Do I have to partition the new drive before installing it into the unit ?
- How do I restore the firmware (if needed) to bring the unit back to the operational state?
Thanks in advance
Thanks for the help, but I have LS-VL NAS which is single drive NAS. So I am afraid part of firmware is located on this disk ....
