Lost all my data on my RN104 - anything I can do?
I've got a ReadyNAS 104 that has lost all my data. After receiving an error message that stated one of my drives was having issues, the front panel locked up but I could still see my shares and files...
It's up to the user to interpret the warnings we give. We won't ever mark a disk as failed simply because it is throwing some errors. It has to get to the point where e.g. it fails a self assessment test or badly fail to respond for it to be marked as failed.
These are clear warnings that you would have seen in the UI if you looked and if you had verified email alerts were working you would have got email alerts about these. There would have been alerts in the UI about disk problems over several months whether or not those alerts showed up as yellow or not.
Furthermore no important data should ever be stored on the one device. Always backup your data. There are other problems that can happen such as fire, flood, theft etc.
