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...
It's good that you sent me the logs.
Untfortunately, this is not a simple disk replacement. You have more than one disk with errors, and I am also seeing BTRFS errors in one of your RAID groups.
I replied with more specifics in a rather long PM.
StephenB I sent you a PM, but since I didn't hear back, I decided to experiment a little bit. I turned the NAS back on and once it was, "up," I popped disk 0 of the array (in the first bay) out and waited until the NAS acknowledged the drive had been removed. I then counted to 10 and re-inserted it. It immediately began rebuilding the array. That was at 3:30 this afternoon; it is currently 9:40 pm, 6 hours later, and it currently stands at 85.72% and if all goes well, should be complete in about 2:20 (about midnight). Since I plan on staying up until then, I am going to see what happens, and possibly replace that 2TB drive with a 4TB tonight and let it resync while I sleep. I'm on the West Coast, but I will check in some time tomorrow with an update on what happens.

I replied to your PMs, so I am confused on this comment.
I would have backed up the data before swapping the disks, as that minimizes the risk of data loss.
StephenB I meant I hadn't heard back by 3:30, when I attempted this, "fix." I saw your reply at 5 something. Anyway, long story short, at midnight it was frozen around 97.48% for an hour and a half, so I tried inserting the new disk. Nothing. I put the old one back in, and it started re-syncing again - this was around 1:30am PST. It just finished, but with tons of errors. I don't think I'm going to be able to back up before catastrophic failure.

Are you able to access your data?
Is the volume showing a degraded status?
