After disk upgrade, receiving message about losing all changed settings when restart or shutdown.
Since upgrading the disks in my RN312 from 3TB to 4TB disks (WD40EFAX) I get the following warnings when selecting shutdown or shutdown in the GUI: I clearly have 2 volumes that seem...
Problem solved. It was the browser, believe it or not.
I accessed the NAS GUI from another computer which has Firefox on it and the warning about not having a volume was not presented when shutitng down the NAS>
My Desktop uses Chrome, which always presents that warning. I brought up FireFox on the desktop and no warning was presented.
So, there must be some Javascript intrepretation difference between Chrome and Firefox that causes this.

Thanks for the warning about the SMR drive. I just found an article about them on ARS Technica and see what you mean.
I'll need to consider my options for switching to something else. However, I put put the original disks back in the NAS (WD30EFRX) and still receive the warning from my original post.
I'd like to get that issue resolved before moving on to another disk upgrade.

Do you have a backup of the data?
Not a complete ReadyNAS backup but I do have most folders backed up to cloud storage. I also have the old 3TB disks.

You could try an OS reinstall from the boot menu and see if that solves it. I don't think the odds are high, but it is safe to try.
The other option (painful) is to do a factory default, and build the volume from scratch (restoring files from your backups).
I've been contemplating the build from scratch approach but the OS reinstall is a good thought. I'll try it in the morning and post my results.
