Reinstalling JBOD drives in New Readynas
Hello All, I had my Readynas configured as 2 x drives in Raid 1 (Master Positions 1 and 2) then I had 2 Drives in JBOD mode ( Drives Three and Four) . I recently replaced drives 1 and 2 and made...
I think Netgear support might have been able to remount the jbod volumes, saving you a lot of time.

Did you, by chance, have the JBOD drives removed during the transition? I've been runing some multi-volume experiments, and I can say for sure that that's "a bad thing".
Yes. And the volume export function is (as far as I can tell) completely worthless, I believe there is at least one idea in the exchange on allowing dismounting/remounting of volumes.
Thanks, So my situation now is I have booted off a JBOD partiion (Disc 1 and 2) and created a JBOD on position 3 and 4. Once the data is copied from 1/2 to 3/4, I plan to destroy 1 and 2 and create a Raid 1 partion on those drives. If I understand correctly, I should not remove disc 3 and 4 during this process, then when I destroy 1 and 2 and create the Raid1, the JBOD (3 and 4) should be readable. I hope this works and I dont loose the data.

Correct.
The JBOD volume is a single volume that spans two drives? If so, it is fragile - a failure of either drive will lost all the data.
Process worked, but my Home folders (Share) has now moved to the second array. I can no longer access the apps page, nothing shows and installing apps using upload method fails. On top of this my 1 month old Readynas has a failed Fan and roars like a Hurricane. I have now completed the RMA and await a replacement (Kudos to Netgear Support who were very prompt in authorising the replacement.) Hopefully installing the drives into the new unit will fix a few of these new problems. Thanks to all participating Greg
