Netgear support won't help you then.
The best thing to do is a factory default, followed by reconfiguring your NAS, reinstalling your apps, and restoring your data from backup.
If you know how to use the linux command line, you might be able to forcibly assemble the RAID volume using ssh. Note sure if it will work, and there could be some file system corruption/data loss even if it does work.
If you can connect all the disks to a Windows PC, then you could also use data recovery software (for instance ReclaiMe).
FWIW, with OS-6 you can see the disk sizes just by looking at the volume tab, and you can see the models by clicking on the drives shown on that tab.
Hi,
t"s not possible for me to connect them to windows pc, all at once.
Recovery on one disk is useless because of the fragmentation over 6 disks?
I ordered bigger disks before this happened.
I think i wait for them, and start from scratch with these bigger hdd's in the NAS.
Thanks for your time and afford.
