ReadyNAS 316 - RN31600 Resync - How do I start from scratch?
Hi Community, I have a RN31600 6 bay with 6x 8TB disks. One failed and was replaced. Volume was lost which is not a problem as I can replace all the lost data.Configuration was RAID 5 with no Spare D...

Please - is there any way the device can be reset to bypass the Syncing and to "start from scratch"?
Even a fresh ReadyNAS install will sync.
I am thinking you do have a backup plan in place, as you can replace all the data.
One option you might consider is going with 5 jbod volumes instead. Since there is no RAID, there is no sync. You would need to balance the storage (placing some shares on each volume, keeping adequate free space on each).
Then when a disk fails, you would need to create a new volume, and restore that volume (but not the rest) from backup.
Thanks a mil for the advice, I will just have to wait for the re-sync to complete its process and then see what I can or cannot do.
Have a blessed day.
