ok, had the same issue again:
- experienced disk failure of Disk1 again
- took disk out and put back in, rebooted
- front view says Disk 1,3,4 all dead, RAIDAR says all disks ok, NAS display reads "Degraded Volume"
- switched NAS off
- inserted new Disk1 (replacement disk)
- power up
- NAS runs through various checks, says resynching, then "Degraded Volume"
- cannot access front view anymore
- Raidar says all disks fine

- Volume now resynching
- Frontview still does not work
- 10h later, resynching completed
- Frontview still does not work, no access to shares
- rebooted
- NAS cannot find network connection

- rebooted again
- network connection found
- still no access to data
- front view still does not work
- Raidar says everything fine

- no change
