Title: Rebuilding
Post by: Clayton on June 23, 2011, 02:31:38 PM

I've swapped another drive over and started the rebuilding process yesterday, it has now finished but the display still says Rebuilding 1274min(s) Left?

What firmware version are you running?

1.05b01, since posting this message 30 mins ago it still says Rebuilding 1274min(s) Left, might do a reset I think

Was the new HDD ever formatted prior to using in the RAID array? If yes, you may want to mount the HDD on a PC and delete any existing partition and try again.

No, it was brand new, straight out of the packaging.
So in future, I can not insert another drive in the NAS that has a NTFS partition?

I recall some posts some time ago by D-Link responding to users with RAID build issues to remove partitions, but that related to JBOD or Standard Volume formatting on the DNS (not Windows partitions).

Reset doesn't fix this, I have backed all my data up and want to reconfigure RAID 5 from blank but I can not find anywhere in the web interface to do this?

You could always use a PC to mount and wipe each HDD, then start from scratch on the DNS-343.

Ofcourse, why didn't I think of that, cheers

No worries. The simplest answer isn't always the most obvious.

Ok, just reconfigured RAID5 and spent 3 days trasferring all my data over to it to be told by my NAS that Volume_1 is degraded, I can not even access the web interface using 192.168.1.14 which is what the IP is after a reset to factory defaults I'm rebuilding now at 1734 min (s) left, I'll be back again in 12 hours and will go from there
