ReadyNAS RN214 RAID5 disk upgrading
I have a Netgear ReadyNAS 214 4-bay with 2 4TB drives and 2 2TB drives configured in RAID 5. X-RAID is turned on. Last night, the display read: find_get_entry+5c and I could not log into the device v...
Here's a second screenshot of my configuration; I guess you can only post one image per post.
If your volume automatically went from read-write to read-only, it's because the volume is on life support. You likely have faults on at least two drives. The OS did that to protect you. Any writes at this point will most likely cause data loss. DO NOT, under any circumstances, reboot the NAS to try to fix this. The more likely result will be nothing best case or loss of your volume worst case.
Once the volume goes read-only, I have never been successful in making it permanently read/write without destroying the volume and starting over (or a factory default, if you prefer).
Unfortunately, it locked up during the backup and I rebooted before your reply came across and I got this:
Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk 1,2,3,4 (see screenshot)
I have two drives on the way. If I shut down, remove 1 (1 I know was going to fail) and replace with a new drive and reboot, will the RAID reconfigure all the data to the new drive? It should have redundancy in the RAID5 X-Raid array, right? Then, after it resyncs, replace drive 2?
Here's a screenshot of the error logs
