So sdc2 has a failure status.
Then stop the nas and restart it with the original disk (sda) but without sdc (middle disk).
Post the mdstat output.

Can i insert a new disk on middle position (slot n.3) and start the rebuild process?
obviously since I only have a new HD and I had cloned it with sda, I format it first and then insert it on slot 3.
Is it ok for you?

No you can not do it directly as it is a cloned disk (sda2) and it will be rejected (detected as a raid member)
Then do an hot plug, wait around one minute to bring up it by the firmware (you can check that by running dmesg command) and run

mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdc2

however I first formatted the clone HD and to speed up the rebuild time I entered this command
echo "20000" > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min
normally this parameter is set to 1000 as a minimum and 200,000 as a maximum.
Reading around, changing the minimum parameter to 20,000 improves performance without running into danger.
The maximum should not be touched.
And in fact the estimated time to finish the reconstruction has been reduced.

Yes we use a similar trick on our firmware.

No way.
The rebuild operation is not successful, after so many hours it stops and as before, reports sdc2 as faulty.
I tried to start it again, but once again (this time much earlier) it stopped

That means there is another faulty disk ! if you do not reboot the nas,it should have some information in dmesg output. So post:
- Code: Select all
dmesg
Check if smartctl command is available with lacie firmware
- Code: Select all
which smartctl
