On No - "Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1,2,3,4,5,6."
First of all the volume became very slow and then went read-only. After a reboot I now get a message "Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1,2,3,4,5,6." and the data volume is totally gone!...

If you already made that backup, you can save yourself some time and just delete and re-create the volume or do a factory default and restore your data from backup.
The good news is that MWT has a backup.There were a bunch of ATA errors (both read and write failures), which affected several of the disks. Three of the disks were out-of-sync when the NAS was rebooted, so the array failed to assemble.
No clear cause for the ATA errors at this point. Hopefully not the NAS hardware.

but what happened?
Download the log zip file from the logs page. It can be hard to decipher - if you like I can take a look.
Just send me a private message (PM) using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page. Put the log zip file into cloud storage, and include a link in the PM. Make sure the permissions are set so anyone with the link can download.
