I have a reasonably old RN314 which I have had to fix up some failing drives. Having resynced the volume from one disk to a new hot spare, the volume says it's still degraded. I have tried to pos...
I agree with @Sandshark that you should first back up the data.

Probably due to procrasination, I think I'm going to wake up one morning and wonder why my music is no longer playing :)
