NAS fails to boot with disk 1 engaged
Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2025 10:51 amHi all,
I just get my 5Big2 back from repair (dead cap), sent after I noticed it was no more on the network.
Now, using a serial connection, I see boot failing probably because HDD is dead (see logs below).
How am I supposed to get the system back, while keeping datas on HDD2 & 3 (it was a RAID5 array)?
-- Edit --
Trying to get fvdw-sl console to load stand alone kernel, it just fails to connect nor interrupt the boot sequence.
Serial console is giving feedback on ongoing boot sequence (also attached below).
