My QNAP took a dump
There I was minding my own business when my iMac suddenly complained that it had lost my home directory. At about the same time I began to hear an ominous clicking sound from the direction of my QNAP. After a few minutes this went away and was replaced by a loud beep. At that point the Mac popped back to life and I was able to ssh to the QNAP.
Rut roh! Looks like one of the disks in my RAID1 has croaked.

QNAP’s website says they will replace faulty kit free of charge so I hope to be back up and running properly again soon.
My replacement disk arrived. Not from QNAP, who said I should contact Samsung direct. Not even from Samsung, whose UK service agent requires receipt of the defective drive before shipping a new one. I had ordered from Dabs just in case there was any delay.
Good idea.
The replacement slotted straight in. The TS-209 Pro supports hot swapping disks so all I had to do was pop out the old and stick the new one in. The array began background rebuilding immediately.

My RMA drive arrived today. I’ll keep it safe in case of further trouble with the QNAP.
