When you say "ever since then", how long are we talking?
Several months and it's switched on daily. I don't normally leave it running overnight but in an effort to try and resolve the problem, I have in the past left it running for about a week.
I would expect the RAID to have to resync so depending on the drive size that could take a while (as long as it takes to mirror one drive over the other, I would guess). So quite a while (maybe hours) but not weeks.
My question really is, will I screw things up if I click the 'fix raid' button? The 'df' command shows this for the NAS :- //storage_server/FTP_RAID_C 917G 911G 6.1G 100% /media/linux_Share //storage_server/Epox_Share 917G 911G 6.1G 100% /media/Epox_Share //storage_server/Media_Share 917G 911G 6.1G 100% /media/Media_Share //storage_server/Laptop_Share 917G 911G 6.1G 100% /media/Laptop_Share
So I'd rather not lose everything on there ;-)
