2 questions about USB disks

[Phil72]

   

Hello.

I have a Terastation Live 1Tb with 2.14 FW, and I have two questions about usb disks:

 

1) When I mount a usb disk and copy files from TS to the disk, I see "Directcopy mounting..." on the display of the TS. It does not go away even when I turn off the usb disk. What does it mean?

 

2) every time I have to disconnect the usb disk, I DONT'T turn it simply off, but I use the "Remove USB Disk assignment" button found in "Disk management" -> USB disk 1 of the web-based setup utility; after the removing of the disk has been confirmed, I turn it off.
In spite of this, I begin to receive lots of emails as the followings:

"DISK Error Notification
HDD error occured
Disk(s) the error occurred:UnknownDisk(sde)
(sde) READ sector:59538976 count:14
Disk writing error
RAID drive error will be repaired automatically.
Continuous Back-up is recommended."

or

"DISK Error Notification
HDD error occured
Disk(s) the error occurred:UnknownDisk(sde)
(sde) WRITE sector:0 count:5
Disk writting error
Some data may not be recoverable.
Immediate change of disk is recommended."
 

Note that if I login into the TS via telnet/ssh, and issue "umount /mnt/usbdisk1", after have removed the USB assignment from the web interface, the problem go away.

 

Now, what's going on? Sall I be worried? Do I make any mistake? 

 

Best regards

Phil

That's odd... you're doing everything right from the web interface. In the web interface, try resetting it to defaults from Maintenance->Initialization, Restore.

Hi,

 

I have just had the same thing happen to me. Performed an immediate backup to a USB disk, used the web interface to safely unount it and a few minutes later get an email informing me of a RAID error on sdb. I'm assuming that as my LinkStation only has one internal disk, and the error was for sdb (not sda which I would imagine would be the first disk) that I can ignore this error. But would be interesting to know why it did this.

 

Thanks,

 

Ben.
