[Solved] TS-639 did not rebuild after hotswap

[MaddoScientisto]

I've been searching for a while on the forum but I can't really find a thread with the same problem, so here I am:

Earlier today drive 4 was detected as faulty so I hotswapped it with a new one, except the rebuild never started, the volume is still in degraded mode.
I'm on firmware 4.2.6 for TS-639, the new drive is shown as GOOD in the list but the drive is still degraded.
What can I do to manually start a rebuild? Is there a log that can help to detect the issue?

I tried a few commands in the console but there's nothing I can discern from them:

Have you tried a degraded reboot and the swapped the new drive in hot after ?

I tried a reboot after swapping and seeing that the rebuild wasn't starting, nothing happened.
Are you suggesting I should take out the drive, reboot, and then insert it?

[dolbyman]

yes

Ok I didn't need to do that, apparently I thought the system rebooted but instead it took a long time to even start rebooting, after it finally came back online the rebuild started, very bizarrre.
I guess the problem is solved now, thanks
