gabeo Posted December 30, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 30, 2014 Hey all. New to XPEnology, and mdadm, but not to linux. I had a drive fail in my 8-drive SHR volume made up of a six 1TB drives, and two 1.5TB drives. One of the 1TB drives failed. Anytime i replace it now, it starts up with the volume showing as crashed, and when i navigate in the GUI to the volume, only 2 or so of the drives will be a member. I have no option to put them back. I can manually get the volume back online by doing: mdadm --assemble --scan vgchange -ay vg1000 mount /volume1 All my stuff then shows up via the command line. However, of course, the GUI still shows the volume is crashed. If i reboot, it goes back to how it was before and I need to rerun the commands above to get it to mount again. If i shut down, pull out the new disk, and start up again, it comes up degraded in the GUI, and all is fine. Am I missing something? machine is an Intel C2Q board with 4 sata ports, and a cheap add on 4 port sata card. Everything works perfectly aside from, what appears to be, a software issue with the OS reordering the disks or something. Anyone have any clues?

sbv3000 Posted December 30, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 30, 2014 Hi Try DSM Storage Manager and the option to manage the crashed volume, I think you can 'repair' it and select the free disks, after it rebuilds it might be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabeo Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted December 31, 2014 thanks...i tried that though. it is greyed out. i can't do anything to the volume from the GUI except delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarsManden Posted December 31, 2014 Share #4 Posted December 31, 2014 The new 1TB disk - is it completely empty? No old partitions? If used before, I would remove all old partitions before using the disk in XPEnology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
