Title: Understanding Activity Report (not)
Post by: challer on August 27, 2010, 07:29:20 PM

TeraStation Pro II, TS-HTGL/R5, Firmware 1.0, Raid 5 ... just replaced disk 3, did the "rearing" thing (what does that mean anyway?), system seems to be working fine.

I get this TeraStation Activity Report:

[HDD Usage Status]

RAID Array 1 Usage Rate : 538512180 kbytes / 730312000 kbytes (Usage Rate 74%)

[RAID Error Occurance Status]

DISK1 DISK2 DISK3 DISK4

System field 1 0 0 0

RAID Array 1 0 0 0 0

What does the "System Field" with a "1" under DISK1 mean? I cannot find any documentation.

This is how much of the RAID is being occupied by data (I'm sure that wasn't the hard part)

[RAID Error Occurance Status]
               DISK1 DISK2 DISK3 DISK4
System field       1     0     0     0
RAID Array 1       0     0     0     0

This is how many times each disk has failed in either the system or RAID data partitions. There was most likely an issue with booting into the kernel which was automatically reconstructed with HDD 1 in the array being found at fault for the trouble. If this number continues to go up over the course of a couple of months it is most likely an indication of HDD 1 failing.
