While checking for updates on my NAS I noticed a "Warning" message.
The app had decided that one of the drives no longer exists and the RAID would be in degraded mode until I fixed it. There were no indications on the lights on the NAS box...
Well, the drive physically exists...
The app suggested shutting down and reseating the drive.
I did that.
During the shut-down I noticed that the "missing" drive's light was steady while the other three flickered.
The reboot took forever!
Now all four of the drive lights are flickering and the status light it alternating red/green.
The app indicates "WARNING"!
Great, why are you warning me?
The sub-app that gives that information, apparently, is greatly slowed by what was causing the warning.
The RAID is rebuilding and while it is, the status light will do the red/green thing.
It will also do this if I save too much data on it.
It's not very informative and it takes too many steps to get the the problem it's telling you about on the front page.
