You apparently have a drive problem, the big clue is the yellow lights. They should be solid green. Problems with drives will give weird situations in File Check and in Resync.
Do you have a current and complete backup?
Do not do anything else until you open a case with netgear support and hear from them. If you try additional items you may lose the array (if you have not already done so). I lost the one on my NV+ three days ago with drive problems. After using the vendor tools to correct the drive parameters (not Hitachi) I was then able to get the array re-established and set up. I have two of my shares copied over and verified at this point (it is my secondary backup so I am not anxious about the data).
