TS 439 Pro II Raid 1 to Raid 10

[alexraymond]

Help

I was successfully running 2TB Raid 1 - Mirroring in Bays 1 and 2 with Bays 3 and 4 empty.
I loaded bays 3 and 4 with 2TB drives and launched the Migrate selecting drives 3 and 4
The log shows "Mirror Disk Volume: Drive 1 2] Do RAID Migration" and the system ran for hours doing migration

I have ended up with the following indication on the Raid Management Page:
"Mirroring Disk Volume: Drive 2 1832.31 GB Bitmap = Yes In degraded mode Please insert a drive of larger capacity and wait for the drive status to become Ready before executing this operation."

OK I am confused? Any wisdom out there to help.
Drives 3 and 4 show as unmounted though they are in the bays and formatted.
Do I need to Mirror 3 and 4 as Raid 1 first for Raid 10 to work?

Running 3.7

I'd say that it looks like disk 1 failed during the migration and now the unit is advicing you to replace that disk to rebuild the RAID 1.

Drives 3 and 4 show as unmounted though they are in the bays and formatted.

I guess the migration was aborted due to the severe problem with your RAID 1 going into degraded mode.

No.

Probably the best thing would be to contact Qnap support for assistance when they open up next week.

Edit: I see now from your posting history that you already have reinitialized the NAS to overcome this issue. If I'm correct in my thinking above, you probably want to keep an eye on that disk in bay 1 as you may lose it again. What disk model is it?
