inactive volumes
Hello to everybody,
i have a readynas 314 with 2x3TB and 2x4TB WD red disks
After I sync the new disks (2x4TB) with the existing volume 2x3TB i want to switch from raid 5 xRaid to raid 10 FlexRai...

When I try to roll back to xraid mode i had a message about extended volume and had 2 new icons on volume tab
On my knowledge at that moment i didn't know how are redistributed all data after sync on all 4 disks. And i hot plug out disk 3 and 4
After i removed Disk 4 the array was only without redundancy but after i unplug disk 3 the raid become dead.
I try to reinsert Both disks, Reboot, Restart, etc. but without any positive results.
I didn't deleted anything or write on this volume in this period so think there is still a chance to rebuild my raid.
I see some Linux articles on internet but i am not very good to read and interpret all the parameters to be able to force reconstruct the raid
And for that reason I need some assistance
Thanks

Paid support (my.netgear.com) would give you the best chance of preserving your data (my.netgear.com). If you need data recovery services it would be expensive. But they might be able to mount your volume without that.
If you can connect all the disks to a Windows PC (using either SATA or a USB adapter/dock), then you could also try ReclaiMe software.
