Hi,
Just got back from a holiday, powered on the DNS-323 to find the raid has gone wonky....
Running firmware 1.0.5, no hacks.
Recently (two weeks ago?) put in two brand new Seagate 1TB drives in RAID-1. Has been through a few power cycles as far as I can remember, and there's about 400GB of data on the drives. Powered it on just now, to see one LED is orange, and it's asking what RAID to setup when logging into the web interface. Drives are both fine - dropped them in a caddy and checked them out on a linux box we have, all seems fine on the disks.
Any ideas if setting up as RAID-1 again will cause a reformat? Luckily we still have the old drives from a few weeks ago, and not a lot of new stuff has gone over, so if setting up the Raid again causes the disks to reformat, it's not a huge loss, but annoying!.
DLink support never answer my emails/questions, so trying to find any usergroup that might be able to help with suggestions...
thanks

If this had happened to me I would have rebuilt the RAID1 array on a linux PC and then dropped the disks back to the DNS-323. It should pick the RAID fine then.
I actually went through a scenario that ended in manual partitioning of the Seagate 1TB disks, creation of the RAID array on the Linux box then convincing the DNS-323 to accept it. So you are left with the last two steps- recreating the RAID array and adding it back to the D-link.

You may want to check the partition tables anyway.
Good luck!
