ReadyNAS 615 Disk Offline
Hi everyone, I have a ReadyNAS 615 (I know, its old, but been solid) and had a drive go bad recently. I purchased a new drive and checked the SMART info on it with Seatools to make sure I received a new one and it was operating correctly, and everything came back good. When I swapped it for the bad one, the NAS recognized it with no problem, but when I click on the drive, it shows that the Disk Status is Offline. Is this because RAID is writing to it, or is something else wrong? I don't have much experience with swapping disks so I wasn't sure if this is normal or not.

Are you using FlexRaid or XRAID?
Are the files still accessible?
Is there any sign that the volume is resyncing?
Hi StephenB, this is actually my case I posted in the /netgear sub on Reddit. I am not 100% sure which raid it is using. When I view the disks under System | Storage, it shows Raid 5+0, x2. Files are still accessible, but there doesnt seem to be anything saying the logs are syncing. When I go into the volumes and look at the summary, it shows that the Health is Degraded, but I assume that is because there is a disk not online. Below are the logs I see from when the old drive when bad until now:
