This is a really old post, so you probably will never read this comment, but I just wanted to let you know that your post literally saved 7.5 TB of my data. My DroboFS was stuck in restart mode with the lights frozen similar to yours, only mine had 4 lights on, one halfway across, and a solid green power light. I did the slot flush as you suggested and lo and behold, it turned out that one of my drives was faulty, even though the Drobo hadn't identified it previously. I shut it down, pulled the faulty drive, powered back up, and now it's working again (although it's extremely low on free space and I've ordered a replacement drive which should arrive tomorrow). Again, thanks for your post, it was a lifesaver!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28946889.post-43826910654514604232020-12-14T11:21:05.465-05:002020-12-14T11:21:05.465-05:00This sounds very much like what is happening to my...This sounds very much like what is happening to my drobo. It gets stuck with 8 of the ten blue lights on. The first and thrid blue lights from the left are the ones that are out but I do not know which drive they correspond to. I will investigate flushing the slots.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17671303358706021647noreply@blogger.com
