Volume: The volume data encountered an error and was made read-only. It is recommended to backup your data.
Have I lost everything?
Maybe.
Try downloading the full log zip file from the logs page. There is a lot of info in there - if you need help analyzing the logs, then you can upload the full zip to cloud storage, and then PM me a download link (using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page). Make sure the link permissions are set so anyone with the link can download.
It's best not to post the link publically, so don't do that.
Do you have any experience using the linux command line interface?
Do you have a backup of the files?

Before calling Netgear
Not much point to calling them. They've exited the NAS business, and no longer offer support contracts for your NAS. I only know of one person who's managed to get support over the past couple of years.

Good morning and thank you for your response Stephen,
I've sent you a pm with the zip file of the logs. I have backups of all the data I'm most concerned about.
I'm not familiar with Linux, although I started using computers when we had to write commands, I can get comfortable quickly. Cheers, M.
