RN31400 appears empty
Hi, I recently started my ReadyNas 314 but it now appears completely empty. All the shares are gone and the even the volumes are inactive. There should be many TB of data there somewhere. It's...

There potentially are ways to recover your volume via support mode, but it's not a "for dummies" process. It involves some investigation of the logs (the downloaded .zip file, not just the one seen in the GUI) and use of the Linux command line. StephenB often helps users with that.
ALNZ:
Start by downloading the full log zip file from the logs page. If you'd like me to take a look, then put the full zip into cloud storage (dropbox, onedrive, google drive, icloud, etc). Send me a private message (PM) using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page that includes a download link. Make sure the link permissions are set so anyone with the link can download.
Thanks for the prompt replies.
I'm not a complete dumby as I do write software for a job... but not too experienced with Linux or the details of how my NAS works.
About 98% of the important stuff is backed up, but there is a lot of other less important stuff which it would be nice to get back, if possible.
The disks are not the original ones as I replaced them 2-3 years ago. Has been much more reliable than my older NV+ NAS.
I haven't tested to just remove one of the disks then reboot. Maybe you can see if a faulty disk is the problem, and maybe which one?
You can check the logs to see if one of the drives is reported as faulty or shows it was removed and replaced. You can also safely just try removing one (rotating though them all) and booting (via the reset button menu) in read-only mode.
