Hello the Forum
I am having a nightmare trying to get our Linkstation Duo back in action, please help if you can...
Originally the device was configured as Raid 1, then a disk went down showing 'error'. I put in a spare (used) disk that was probably a totally different format and hoped for the best - but as expected it didn't fix itself.
I ordered a replacement (new) disk and stuck the old 'error' disk back in, for kicks. Somehow it then went to Raid 0, which seems odd as from what I've read on here it's impossible to switch raid modes without losing data.
Anyway at this point I've copied everything off and am happy to reconfig from fresh - setting to Raid 1 using the new disk that has now arrived.
But the new disk shows as 'error' and I cannot use the admin console to format it. So now I'm thinking that it's not the disk at all, but the hardware? As a long-shot I plugged the new drive into a Windows 7 pc and ran a quick format using GPT NTFS and Default Allocation Size, then tried again in the Linkstation - still saying 'error' though...
I notice that the working disk is formatted as XFS, so maybe I have to pre-format instead of using the formatter in the admin console (which is greyed out, presumably due to 'error'). But I have no idea how I would apply the XFS format using my Windows 7 pc, so another dead end.
Can anyone guide me through this mess?
Cheers, Midge
