Hello All

First thing thank you so much for this firmware crazy really great job

My question is simple I have 4 drive in raid 5 and if I understand firmware is on the drive 1 only

I did some testing and it looks like if disk 1 is missing the nas not boot

My question is if the drive 1 really crash how i can boot the nas ?

Thank you in advance and congratulations again for the job :beer:

Hi

fvdw-sl console can be used to investigate what is the issue if the nas does not start.

Yes it is the system disk (sda)
Please to note it can be also included in your raid5

how i can included in the raid ?

In the nas i have already a raid 5 with my 4 drive

from disk setup menu, click on the volume name of your raid and use the grow feature

Hello i'm sorry but where is the grow feature ?

:shocked
So you have only 4 disks and you already have the max raid5 size

Then "Grow feature" is not available

Why the firmware on the disk 1 is not clone when i do my first raid 5 ?
Any solution ? :-)

Because it is useless...

you have a raid 5 only on the data partition

Please to note with lacie firmware, fw partitions are never included in a raid5 but only raid1. Some inconsistency on these raid1 explains why some times the nas fails to start.

on our side, if there is an issue on the system partitions, you have fvdw-sl console to repair them.

ok i understand its logical :-)

Thanks a lot :-)
