R_volution NAS Statistics and RIP status

To check the status of the hard drives of your R_volution NAS (or Zappiti NAS transformed into R_volution NAS via the optional kit) and their filling, follow the rip status of your disks and check for possible errors, proceed as follows:

Go to R_video on your computer or on one of your media players.

In R_video, press the MENU button on the remote control (or right-click with your mouse if you are on a computer). Then, go to the Information column, then click on R_volution NAS Statistics.

A window will display your NAS statistics as shown in the image below:

The top section shows the health status of each of the NAS hard drives and their fill rate.

The percentage indicates the health status of the disk. Above 50%, a green bullet indicates that everything is fine. Below 50%, a red bullet indicates that the disk is defective and needs to be replaced. In this case, contact support at the following email address: [email protected].

At the bottom left, the disk status indicates the fill rate of your NAS (the free space on all hard drives) and tells you precisely how many TB are available as well as the total capacity of all your hard drives. Note that in RAID 5, the equivalent of the capacity of a hard drive is reserved for securing data. For example, if you have 5 hard drives of 10 TB, the total capacity will only be 9 TB in theory (a little less in reality).

At the bottom right is shown the progress status of the current disk RIPs with a progress percentage.

If successful, the percentage increases to 100% and a green bullet point appears to the left of the ripped disc. A note indicates that the RIP was successful.

In case of failure, the percentage stops before 100% and a red bullet is displayed to the left of the ripped disc. A note specifies the nature of the failure. This may be due to a reading problem if the hard drive is dirty, scratched or unreadable for any other reason. In this case, the disc is usually ejected. If this is not the case, you can manually eject the disc by inserting the end of a paperclip into the hole provided for this purpose, located next to the tray. We then invite you to clean your disc using a glasses cloth or similar material, then reinsert it. In some cases, this can resolve the problem.

To get more details about errors and view the complete history of previous RIPs, press the OK button on your remote control or click the dedicated button using your mouse if you are on a computer.

The RIP history is then displayed with error details. To scroll through the list, use the DOWN arrow on your remote control or the mouse wheel if you are on a computer.
