Hi hby,
Welcome to the community!
In addition to Stephen's questions, does the RAIDar see the NAS?
Since you have checked the disks with diagnostic tools, please make sure you insert them back to thier respective bays.
If RAIDar does not see the NAS, check the cable between the NAS and the switch/router where it is connected, make sure both ends are properly plugged in.
Regards,
Hello.
Yes RAIDar see the Nas.
It is like this.
All is working normal for a while (a couple of hours) and then it hangs again.
Then you have to switch off power on the back and on again.
When you switch on the nas unit it detects the powerbreak and starts to syncronize the disks, that goes well.
It also asks that you should check filesystem by rebboting it, that goes well too.
So after that two actions I open the logs in the Nas to see if anything is wrong but everything is reported okey.
Then suddenly after some hours it has stopped working and is hanged.

You could lose all access to the NAS soon, so if you have no backups you really should be making them.
It sounds likely to be a filling OS partition to me. If I am right, you would need to enable ssh on the NAS (and feel comfortable using it) to resolve the problem yourself. Another option is to do a factory reset, and rebuild the NAS/restore the data from backup.
It would be easy for Netgear to solve, so if you are the original purchase you could try contact supporting (and pay a per-incident support fee).
Hello Stephen.
Now I have enabled ssh and have logged in on my ReadyNAS.
The command df shows:

Is there anything interesting in /var/log/messages?
