You're suggesting two or more disks may be faulty here, that's always a possibility yet the ReadyNAS can't seem to decide/detect where the problem may lie.
Actually I haven't suggested that. I said that you have no RAID redundancy at all when you are rebuilding a disk. If we assume that one disk is bad, then the volume will fail if you rebuild one that isn't bad. The odds are that the first disk you try to rebuild will be one of the healthy ones.
And I have said a couple of times that I suspect the problem is not the disks at all, but might instead be file system corruption (which has other possible causes). But it is important to rule the disks out. I agree that the OS 6 ReadyNAS could do a better job in reporting/finding disk and file system problems.
FWIW, after you get past this, you might want to schedule the disk test and the scrub. Personally I run all four of the maintenance tasks on schedule (one per month). The scrub doubles as a reasonable disk test, as it does require every sector in the data volume to be either read or written. So scheduling those two every now and then is a good way to give you earlier warning on disk issues.

Doing a factory default and reconfiguring everything from scratch is quite time consuming and the kind of situation I hoped haivng a RAID array would avoid.
Totally get that, and generally it isn't needed. But sometimes it's the best path forward.

Ah yes of course since we can't tell which disk (if any) is bad, now I think about it that makes total sense.

Good advice, thanks.

Do you happen to know, If I back up the configuration, factory reset, and then re-load it, does that restore everything to how it was, users, passwords etc, just with all the shares empty and the apps uninstalled?

Actually, you need to reinstall the apps before you restore the saved configuration because some of the files in the configuration .zip may have been modified by an app and putting them in without the app installed can result in problems.

Makes sense, though I think I'll start from scratch with Nextcloud anyway if it comes to that.
