how can I bring back exported disk?

I accidentally exported my 2 4tb disks of RN102 running RAID 1. How can I bring them back, to the same exactly setup, without losing any data? 

  • Hello

    I have contacted the Netgear support. Somehow the EXPORT option messed the config files.

    They did for me a reinstallation of os through telnet, and everything came back to normal.

    Thank you very much for your help in here, and deffinetely QH and the other persons  in the support!

    Cheers

    Hi DimitriosCh,

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    The volume will be currently inactive. The best thing to do here is contact our support team and raise your ticket to one of our Engineers.

     

     

    Kind regards,

      Hi Brian_L

      isn't there any documentation regarding exporting and importing volumes on RN 102?

      The ReadyNAS OS 6.4 Software Manual provides very little, only on how to export a volume, without any particular mention that will actually freeze everyhting.

      Kind regards,

      DimitrisCh

        Hello DimitriosCh,

         

        We have already requested for an article about exporting volume to be posted on KB server.

         

        Unfortunately, there is no import option, you may need to restart the NAS and recreate the volume and manually copy files over, or create a backup job.
