ReadyNas 104 Disk Errors
I have had a ReadyNas 104 for several years and it has worked really well. Last week I logged into it, and saw disk errors in the logs and have monitored it closesly over the past few days. My disk e...
I attempted to use Clonezilla and clone disk 3 to a new disk, and after a day it failed with a warning message about the disk has bad sectors. I also attempted to do the same process of cloning disk 1, but had the same errors as disk 3.
I enabled SSH and ran some of the above commands to see what process were using cpu/mem
So with all the original disks back in the NAS, and it running "normally", I hot swapped disk 3 to a new disk, and after about 10 hours and being more than 14% rebuilt, I see the message on the LCD of "data DEAD"
what options do I have now? is there any way to see what files / data the raid rebuild is failing on, that I can remove that data to allow the raid rebuild to keep working?

Your only option now is RAID recovery. You can try Netgear's service ( https://kb.netgear.com/69/ReadyNAS-Data-Recovery-Diagnostics-Scope-of-Service ).
You could also try ReclaiMe software - though you'd need a way to connect all the disks to a windows PC (for instance a SATA enclosure). https://www.reclaime.com/
Hindsight is always 20-20. That said, you should have backed up the NAS before you hot-swapped disk 3.
