Download the full log zip file from the logs page.
If you can't interpret what it says, you can put it into cloud storage and send me a link via private message (PM). Make sure the permissions are set so anyone with the link can download. You send a PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
Best not to post the link publically, as there is some privacy leakage when you do that.

You are using drive and volume interchangably - which creates some confusion.
"Drives" are the physical drives. You hotswapped the first drive.
"Volume" is the file system that spans all your drives. The volume is what was degraded (and is now dead/inactive).
