Readynas 316 disk state unknown after replacement
I have having problems replacing a drive in my ReadyNas 316. I have added/replaced drives many times and this is the 1st time I have run into this issue. In the past the NAS accepted the drive and resynced all the data.
I found another post that suggested formatting the drive with the button on the right, but that does not appear to have done anything. All the data is still accessible, but the NAS is in degraded state.
I am running the latest stable version 6.10.10
The logs do not show anything, but me removing the old drive and putting in the new drive
Not sure what to do next. Thank you

Download the full log zip from the logs page. It has a lot more info than you can see in the web ui.
You might also try powering down the NAS and connecting the drive to a Windows PC. Then test it with WDC's dashboard utility.
Yes, lots more information in the downloaded log file. Is there something specific I'm looking for?
Thanks
I'd be looking for errors in various logs (system, kernel, systemd-journal) around the time you inserted the new disk. Also I'd check mdstat to see if the new disk was synced to the OS partition (md0) or not. Probably look in disk_info.log also.
If you like, I could take a look. You'd need to PM me a download link to the logs.
But I think the first step would be to test the disk. That can be done with WD's utility in a Windows PC, but also you could run the long test with smartctl from the linux command line. Do you have ssh enabled (and have experience with the linux command line)?
