Arrrgh! Teats up drive in server.
 

One of the four drives in my Synology server is "failing," according to
the server's diagnostics. The server has been running continuously for
what, 10 years? Fortunately, I was able to find a new "exact
replacement" drive on Amazon, even though Seagate has discontinued that
particular model. I sort of recall I paid $100+ for each of the four 2TB
drives...but the closeout price on the replacement was $44. :)

I vaguely remember that installation of drives into the server box was
pretty simple. Hope that's not a false memory. :) If it is, I'll call
Fretwell and see if he can stop by with his chainsaw.

Or you could call Joe Biden and see what he remembers .... unless he
threatens to beat you up first.

Or I could call Trump, who would tell me to ship the server off to
Ukraine, though he couldn't point out that country on a map.

Why don't you just shoot it or ask your pal Hillary how to dispose
of it in the landfill?

Actually, I was thinking of taking the bad drive apart, just for grins.
I'll be glad to mail a piece to you.

It was nice of you holding back on correcting him that what he really has is a NAS device, not a "server". Network Attached Storage.

Is this RAID1 (mirrored) or RAID5 (striped)?
Either way, it should be fairly painless if you follow the procedure.
Otherwise you might lose the array.

Just don't let Hillary get close to it. All of the drives will be
smashed with a hammer ... just out of habit.

I actually found (on that server) instructions on how to hot swap or
cold swap a sick drive. I sort of remembered reading the process before
I stored the directions and I wasn't far off. I will shut the server
down and then do the drive swap. Replacement drive is supposed to arrive
tomorrow. I think I'll temporarily remove all the drives and blow the
dust out of the server box, and then when it is up and running, update
the utility programs I use to access stuff from afar.

I thought he was running Windows Media Center but that might be old
info. It is probably something like that anyway. I wouldn't screw with
a NAS if I had a PC that was on all the time anyway.

Be careful to be sure they all get back in the same hole/cable. A RAID
could lose it's mind if drives end up in the wrong address. Use a
wrist strap.

Wow...when I set up this server, I actually labeled the drives 1,2,3 &
4. Such foresight, such genius! :) It's running now, hopefully
rebuilding Drive 1, or whatever it does when you put in a new drive.
Hope it is ok. A lot less dust in the box than I expected.

Ahh...system initialized the new drive and server seems to be running
ok. Whew!

Good deal. It may take some hours to rebuild the strips but you can
still run if you are brave.

More like a file server on a local area network from the sound of it.

These days I try not to get too hung up on nomenclature because it has
been so corrupted by salesmen and clueless users that it is
meaningless.


While I do store files on my Synology *Server*, I mostly use it for
traditional "server-like" functions, such as sharing programs, running
email through it, running web pages and test web pages on it, et cetera.
Who gets to define what a "server" is, anyway? Certainly not the yahoos
here.

Arrrgh! Teats up drive in server.

One of the four drives in my Synology server is "failing," according to
the server's diagnostics. The server has been running continuously for
what, 10 years? Fortunately, I was able to find a new "exact
replacement" drive on Amazon, even though Seagate has discontinued that
particular model. I sort of recall I paid $100+ for each of the four 2TB
drives...but the closeout price on the replacement was $44. :)

I vaguely remember that installation of drives into the server box was
pretty simple. Hope that's not a false memory. :) If it is, I'll call
Fretwell and see if he can stop by with his chainsaw.
Is this RAID1 (mirrored) or RAID5 (striped)?
Either way, it should be fairly painless if you follow the procedure.
Otherwise you might lose the array.

I actually found (on that server) instructions on how to hot swap or
cold swap a sick drive. I sort of remembered reading the process before
I stored the directions and I wasn't far off. I will shut the server
down and then do the drive swap. Replacement drive is supposed to arrive
tomorrow. I think I'll temporarily remove all the drives and blow the
dust out of the server box, and then when it is up and running, update
the utility programs I use to access stuff from afar.
Be careful to be sure they all get back in the same hole/cable. A RAID
could lose it's mind if drives end up in the wrong address. Use a
wrist strap.


Wow...when I set up this server, I actually labeled the drives 1,2,3 &
4. Such foresight, such genius! :) It's running now, hopefully
rebuilding Drive 1, or whatever it does when you put in a new drive.
Hope it is ok. A lot less dust in the box than I expected.

Ahh...system initialized the new drive and server seems to be running
ok. Whew!
Good deal. It may take some hours to rebuild the strips but you can

I forgot...can you tell us again? How many gallons of diesel does your
boat hold and, of course, how much water does it draw? Perhaps if you
told us for the 23rd time, I might remember.

As the owner of one or more imaginary diesel boats you should be able
to conjure up those numbers on a moments notice.


So what ever happened to the Hatteras sportfish with the corinthian
leather seats, the lobsta boat, and the twin Volvo flybridge
trawler/motor yacht? You should be quite well off after selling those
boats for more than you paid. I know that it's possible since I once
sold a sailboat for more than I paid, and our Grand Banks appraises
out for a tad more than I paid 16 years ago. You remember the Grand
Banks right? The one with the 5 1/2 foot draft, 1,000 gallons of
fuel, and 500 gallons of water? I'm looking at it right now,
reflected in the pool outside my office - pictures if you'd like.
