one disk failed in RAID 5, no data in shared folders, old three disks color changed to RED
Hi, we have with RAID-5 configured. one disk failed and it was replaced in poweroff mode. 3 old disks changed to RED color and new disk added is black. Pl. check in image attached. Updated to lat...
Have you tried booting with just the three old drives? The proper way to replace a bad drive is with the power on, by the way. If booting with the three orignals works, then add the new one with the power on. If the NAS complains that it has data on it, you will have to re-format it from the Volume page before it will add it to the array. It is always a good idea to make sure your backup is up to date before adding a new drive because the re-sync process is drive intensive and if it causes a second, marginal drive to fail, your volume is lost.

Your root volume is fuller than normal.
If you want to have a look at the data volume as well, download the logs from the GUI, look at dmesg.log and search for the mentions of md127.
Yes, It have tried it but status is same.
syslog is of 1.2 gb
logs are not rolling.
Any idea if i perform following steps.
option one:
1. boot with one new drive
2. disable x-raid and powerdown.
3. boot with all four drives.
4. ?? ??
data will be available or not..
option two:
reduce size of syslog and reboot NAS.
clearing some space in / drive will resolve the problem.

The OS and configuration are on the drives, not in the flash. So these steps are pointless, they have no effect on settings when you execute step 3.

Have you installed a logging analyzer or a syslog server???
