I had 3 disks in raid mode.
I've tried multiple way of starting by removing 1 or 2 disks but it doesn't work.
That was the wrong thing to do in that situation.
Try powering down the NAS and inserting all the disks. If the NAS starts up, then go to the logs page and download the full log zip file.
If you want me to take a look, then put the log zip into cloud storage (dropbox, etc), and send me a private message (PM) with a link. Make sure the permissions allow anyone with the link to download. You send a PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
Thanks for answering me.
The NAS with the 3 disks is writing intensively with no rest.
It seems it's doing something but I don't know what.
It's just flashing data degraded. And admin interface is not accessible
Why I've tried to remove one disk and start.
By the past, I got an issue on one disk (but the NAS told me which disk was corrupted)
I removed the fawlty disk.
Added a brand new disk and NAS reconstructed RAID on it.
Simple as that.In this case, I can remove either disk 2 or disk 3 and NAS will start.
Admin is accessible.
So I I removed disk 2 and exported logs.
I'll PM you the link to download them
It sounds like your NAS is re-syncing the RAID. By stopping and starting, and especially by removing drives, you are playing with fire as far as the health of your volume goes.
Maybe.
I've bought some disk to make a backup attempt if I manage to access data.
I would like to start it again in the safe mode possible.
Could you tell me how to start in read only mode?
Which disks I should insert?
Disk 3 seems ok as I can start on him only.
When I start with disk 1 or 2, it doesn't start, reminder of my attempts
