How to restore the LinkStation to its factory defaults.
Created*02/28/2011 02:43 AM**|***Updated*02/06/2012 08:36 AM
There are two ways to initialize the LinkStation to its factory defaults.
*Only the way*2 is for the LS-XL LinkStation models.

*Only the setting is initialized, when the LinkStation is initialized. The data*stored in your LinkStation will not be deleted.
Using the function/initialize button to restore the LinkStation settings to its factory defaults.
Settings that will be restored
IP address, Network Framesize, and Administrator username/password
If you do not want to initialize the admin password when you initialize the LinkStation;
Show the screen navigating by [System]-[Restore/Erase].
Click [Modify Settings]-[Keep current admin password]-[Save] to change the setting.*

* If you choose*not to*initialize the admin password from the function/initialize button, you can no longer configure the LinkStation if you forget the password.
You must keep your password.


Move the power switch to the ON position while holding down the function button. The function button will*start flashing in blue for 1 minute.
While the function button is flashing blue, press the function button again. The status LED will start*flashing in*blue. It will*change to*amber when initialization begins (2-3 minutes).
*
Using the Web Admin interface to restore the LinkStation settings to its factory defaults.
*Almost all the settings*will be initialized when you initialize from the Admin interface. (Data will not be deleted)
*
In the Web Admin interface, navigate to [System]-[Restore/Erase].
Click [Restore LinkStation].
The "Confirm Operation" screen will appear. Enter the number shown in the "Confirmation Number" field within 60 seconds, and click [Apply].
Follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

LinkStation HDD Error
Created*05/30/2012 04:42 AM**|***Updated*06/15/2012 07:28 AM
If your LinkStation's HDD is failed, you*need to execute disk scan or re-format
6 blinks every 4 seconds indicate a hard disk error.

If the data on the drive is accessible,*users may need to run a disk scan from the web interface, found under 'Maintenance'.

If the data is inaccessible and the disk check function was unsuccessful, the drive may need to be reformatted.
This will erase all data from the drive and is also found under 'Maintenance'.

If the format did not fix the problem*and the Web Interface is inaccessible, try resetting the device to factory settings using the reset button on the back.
Use a pen or paperclip to hold this button down for*20 seconds with the device powered on. This will not format the drive, it will only reset the settings.*Users will*need to re-enter all settings.
The device will revert back to obtaining an IP address by DHCP again.

Sollte laut Manual dies hier heissen:
Das RAID-Array kann nicht bereitgestellt werden. Schalten Sie das Gerät aus und anschließend wieder ein.
Wenn der Fehler weiterhin besteht, konfigurieren Sie das RAID neu. Und wenn derselbe Fehler erneut
angezeigt wird, wenden Sie sich an den technischen Support von Buffalo, um Hilfe zu erhalten.

If the data is inaccessible and the disk check function was unsuccessful, the drive may need to be reformatted.
This will erase all data from the drive and is also found under 'Maintenance'.

Ich weiß ja nicht wie hochwertig der RAID Controller in diesen Buffalo Stationen ist, aber wenn dein RAID
wirklich ein RAID-0 war, wie im Beispielbild von ZiZu, dann kannst du ohne weiteres formatieren,
da deine Daten bereits verloren sind.

Ein Raid 0, Stripe Set, speichert auf beiden Festplatten abwechselnd, und die Dateien können
nur beim Vorhandensein beider Arrays wiederhergestellt werden.
Bsp. für Datei A

Bit1A HDD 0
Bit2A HDD1
Bit3A HDD0
usw.


Wenn Dir viel an deinen Daten liegt, empfehle ich beim nächsten Mal ein RAID1, Mirror.
Dabei werden auf beiden HDDs die gleichen Daten abgespeichert.
Bsp.

Bit1A HDD0
Bit1A HDD1
Bit2A HDD0
Bit2A HDD1
usw.
