Problems with 705N Raid -- Please help!

Hi There.

I have a Powervault 705N that I'm trying to build a 4-disk RAID 5 set on.  By themselves, each disk checks out as OK.  However, whenever I try to build a RAID 5 set out of the 4 disks, I always get an error of some kind from the File System.

Examples of errors include:

File System : Failed to resynchronize logical set 60000, error -1
File System Check : FSC K fatal error = 39
File System Check : Bad state 0 for inode I=909338

and

File System Check : FSC K fatal error = 39
File System Check : Bad state 0 for inode I=1099842

When I break the RAID up, I get 4 good disks again.

I have upgraded to the latest OS and I've tried just about everything I could think of.  Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Here's more info -- no matter what kind of disk configuration I use I get this error.  It seems like as long as I leave the drives seperate they're ok.  If I build any kind of larger drive, then I get this problem.

Does anyone have an idea on how to deal with this?  I'm on my own and have no one else I can ask.

Thanks again

Hi,
 I found your post whilst looking into the same problem on a Quantum Snap Server...  I too was able to create individual disks but not a RAID 5 set.  I removed the disks from the server and tested them using a free disk testing program (http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm)  This found disk 3 to be defective, I replaced this and everything is up and running!  Not sure why the server couldn't just say there was a fault with Disk 3, would have saved loads of time...

Hope that helps...

Pete
