Revert New Volume creation
Hello Community,
I accidentally created a new volume through the admin web portal on a HDD that was part of my ReadyNAS, and now I can't access the files stored on that HDD anymore.
ReadyNAS model 214, OS version 6.10.8
Can I revert those changes made when I clicked "create a new volume"? I'm hoping that will restore the original structure and give me access to the files again.
SATA 8TiB Disk is the one affected. See screenshot attached.
Any help is much appreciated.
Rei.

ReadyNAS saw it initially as a disk that needed a new partition, or didn't quite understood what was there and presented it like a HDD that needs formatting. I only clicked on "new volume" and seem like ReadyNAS wrote that on it, now I can't see the data when I put the disk on the other Linux/Windows Server.
What happened is expected behavior, the NAS always destroys the disk content when create a volume.
You could try NTFS data recovery software, and see if it can get the data back.

Can you give some more detals on what you did?
- Did you originally have a RAID-1 (mirrored) volume?
- Or did you destroy a jbod volume that was on the disk before?
- Or something else?
