long initialization TS-451A

Post by r136a8 »

Hi, I have TS-451A.
I added one drive WD80EMAZ in 3 3d sections.
Next got to Control Panel - Storage&Snapshots - Disks/VJBOD - Chouse NAS Hosts, (3d in my case) next Action - New Volume - Static Volume
It's work for now about 3-4 hours. How long it take?

what do you mean by "3 3d sections" ?

and why only 1 drive ? ... go with 4 drives setup a RAID 5 or 6 .. don't forget external backups

I have 4 drives. I don't need a backup for now, so I use RAID0

RAID is NOT a backup

so you have a RAID0 across all four disks (shucked from desktop drives) and a static volume ?

because you initially said something about adding a drive (you can't add rives to a RAID0)

sorry but we must enlighten you.

your raid0 with desktop drives will die. no redundancy, say bye bye to your data very soon.

you need to make your data safe. used Raid5 and make scheduled backups.

Okay Raid5 no problem, but what to do a new disk?
Initializing 0.00% about 5 hours?

so did you just switch to RAID5 and still have issues with volume initialization ?

is the RAID fully synced ? why does it say legacy volumes there ?

could you give a screenshot of the storage overview ?

no, I haven't touched anything yet

legacy volumes - because they were inserted from the old trs 412 device - this is not a problem now.

oh so it's single disks not a RAID .. you are giving unclear/wrong information


try setting up a thin volume on that WD disk, see if it is initialized faster

the drive doesn't care .. and as there is nothing saved on it, no risk of data loss

Thank you.
Can I create RAID 1 or RAID 5 like this:
Insert a new drive into the 2nd bay, total of 4 bays (all full)
Initializing a new disk to RAID 1 or RAID 5.
I copy information on the new drive from the same volume drive that already works in the device
I will release the disk from which I copied the information to the RAID 1 or RAID 5 and make a backup for the second disk.
It is the right steps?
