Data Volume Lost after Disk Replace #25483643
Hello ReadyNAS Community,
after a disk failure (disk 3), I replaced this disk. A volume resynchronization was started automatically. However, this resynchronisation failed with no obvious error...
I don't suppose you have a backup of the data on the volume?

Hi,
well no. It's quite a lot of data, was around 5 TB (I had 4 x 2 TB drives), so not actually a lot of space to back it up twice. The NAS was supposed to be the "redundant" backup ;)
So I'm open to any suggestions.
Sending logs is described here, you just download them from the nas then email them in:

There are many scenarios that a redundant volume does not offer protection against, therefore backups are essential.
What model readynas is it?
I think you need to ask Netgear support to look to look at this, open a support case and be prepared to pay.

Thanks for this. I have sent the logs. I have already contacted Netgear, but as you probably know / assume they are not very eager to help. At the moment they are looking into the case. However, I assume that the Netgear implementation of RAID is based on existing technolgoies, and that there is maybe at least one or two rebuild or salvage commands I can try. I was hoping I could maybe find an answer here.
The model is RNS-104, was bought diskless, and has 4 drives in it.
Thanks in advance for your time,
Alex
Hi azerva,
I looked at some information on the logs you have sent and on my understanding, it appears that Drive 4 may have also failed. To confirm this, please download disk diagnostic tools from Western Digital (WD lifeguard) or Seagate's(Seatools) webiste and check your drives. My hopes are still high that your data will be recovered.
I'll look forward to your response.
Thanks,
