Re: automatic RAID 5 recovery after disk failure in old TS 659?
meanwhile I formated the existing partitions 2 and 3 on the disk to EXT3 with DiskGenius. (Earlier Primary 0 was EXT3, Primary 1 was 'Linux Swap', Pimary 2 und Primary 3 were unformatted)
now it looks likes this:
should this also work?

dolbyman is giving you excellent advice, please listen to and try to follow that instead of trying other things.
RAID have never ever been a replacement for backups. Without backups on a different system (preferably placed at another site), you will eventually lose data!
A non-RAID configuration (including RAID 0, which isn't really RAID) with a backup on a separate media protects your data far better than any RAID-volume without backup.
All data storage consists of both the primary storage and the backups. It's your money and your data, spend the storage budget wisely or pay with your data!

OK. done.
thank you.
now - just re insert the cleaned disk in the old TS 659 disk array?

thank yoiu.
log files indicate that rebuidling started but was abandonded later due to errors:

RAID management also does not look correct from my point of views?

putty does not deliver back results now:

what to do?

Your syntax is not-quite-right. Try this:
Code: Select all
cat /proc/mdstat

Re: automatic RAID 5 recovery after disk failure in old TS 659?
I do not see any difference in the syntax? (and I am not at home know and may not yet try differently)
additionally - does the content from the logs and the RAID management not show significant problems/errors?

Re: automatic RAID 5 recovery after disk failure in old TS 659?
You missed the slash "/" before proc.
You did:
Code: Select all
cat proc/mdstat
Code: Select all
cat /proc/mdstat
It tell us that disk 1 probably have a problem. As a RAID 5 can only handle one faulty disk at a time it's time to prepare yourself mentally for that a storage reinitialization and restore from backups may be your only option.additionally - does the content from the logs and the RAID management not show significant problems/errors?
RAID have never ever been a replacement for backups. Without backups on a different system (preferably placed at another site), you will eventually lose data!
A non-RAID configuration (including RAID 0, which isn't really RAID) with a backup on a separate media protects your data far better than any RAID-volume without backup.
All data storage consists of both the primary storage and the backups. It's your money and your data, spend the storage budget wisely or pay with your data!

thank you.As a RAID 5 can only handle one faulty disk at a time it's time to prepare yourself mentally for that a storage reinitialization and restore from backups may be your only option.
re mentally prepare: I already evaluate options for purchasing a new NAS instead of the 9-10 year old one.
my current favorite is the TS-H886.

Re: automatic RAID 5 recovery after disk failure in old TS 659?
Then I recommend that you go for NAS or Enterprise disks in that one. WD Black are not bad disks but they're intended for desktop usage and not ideal for NAS/RAID applications. Check out the compatibility list and then ask here in the forum before buying new disks.

OK. understood. the WD Black were selected and distributed by the old QNAS NAP distributor.

I thought we established that you had two drives fail in a raid5
there is no path to go here
