Well, just got a new RAID5 to replace the 4100 and brought it in today so I could start the backup. The 4100 looked OK (all the correct LEDs flashing on the front panel) but noticed that there was apparently a power failure over the holidays that was long enough that the UPS wasn't able to keep things running. Checked the 4100 using the browser and the Disk Status tells me there was a fatal error during disk check after it restarted.

E File System Check : FSCK fatal error = 27 Disk 60000 12/24/2009 6:37:16 PM
E File System Check : Partially allocated inode I=28329230 Disk 60000 12/24/2009 6:37:16 PM

Just wonderful, and how ironic. It occurred just a couple of hours after I left work for the holidays.

Checked the forum but didn't see anything I didn't already know.

The hard drives are all fine, no amber light for any of them on the front panel, and the 4100 still sees them as a RAID5 (no orphans). Not exactly sure what to do here. Most of the device was backed up, but there is some work on it that was not.

So I've restarted it (from the browser) in the hopes it does better this time. It took about 40 minutes to get to the error last time so I'll wait and report back. And I just realized that I didn't notice if the System LED was double-flashing or not before the restart, but it is now. I can also see all the disks getting accessed (rapidly flashing green LEDs) with none of them changing to amber.

My guess is I'll get the same error. I figure I'll try running the Disk Check manually next if it still reports the error.

Any ideas on how to bypass the error long enough to recover some files?
