I have a RN31400 (4x4TB) and an EDA500 expansion unit (5x4TB). The volume from the EDA500 does not contain useful data, but the volume on the RN31400 does.
Still scrubbing, this may take some time. Only at 0,52% so far :(
I'm a bit reluctant to update the firmware, did this twice so far and both times the nas froze on me during reboot.
But why is it impossible to format or destroy the volume? This is not normal behaviour I believe. The only thing I can do is switch between x-raid and flexraid (have not done so)
Ok update: I've stopped scrubbing. Switched to flexraid which made it possible for me to destroy the volume.
Switched back to x-raid and now it's resyncing, so moving forward:
scrub and then balancing may help.
if there is no useful data why not do a factory reset to start fresh? update firmware first to os6.6.0 may be before factory reset?

Sync finished, updated firmware. Share re-made, data re-copied to NAS.
Everything running ok again, this topic is finished.
