Hello,
Am trying to find someone that help me troubleshoot the issue am facing.
I initially bought my EX4100 with 4x10TB of Storage, on RAID 5, which gave me roughly 28 TB of data.
Recently (last 6 month) I reached 2 TB of free storage, so I felt the need to upgrade and expand my storage.
I ordered 4 x 22TB WD221KFGX HDDs and I started replacing 1 by 1, foreach disk to do a RAID rebuild and ensure that the data is consistent, then waited a couple of days and replaced the other one, it took me a couple of weeks to finish all of this.
After the last HDD was replaced and RAID was rebuilt, I had to expand my RAID5, so I went on GUI and started expanding, it took couple of days to reach 80%, then my issue started to happen.
The EX started to become unresponsive and lose network and connectivity, I rebooted it, once rebooted it gains the network, then I can access the GUI and SSH but after 5 min, it just go into veggie state again.
I kept trying to find a solution in those 5 min when the SSH is available, I found that my drives are unmounted and storage tab started dissapearing from GUI, then after the 6th of 7th restart, the GUI is stuck on performing consistency check and I cannot access the SSH anymore.
I tried to do a 40 second reset to try to reach it again but with no hope.
Can anyone point me in any direction that I can troubleshoot the issue, but I am trying as much as I can to retain the data, last time I checked it was there, its about 25TB of history.
Thanks for the reading and any support you can provide.
