Lost another volume
On firmware 6.7.4 ran a scrub before leaving for the weekend on Friday, came back in today after not having received a notification that the scrub had ever finished, couldn't make any changes to the ...

Hi again,
Yes, so there is definitely some corruption on the filesystem - unfortunately. You can probably see that yourself reading through some of those messages. It would cause issues mounting the volume and thus you see no wolume anymore. This is not a result of the scrub by the way.
It is one of the problems with running a RAID0. You are much more prone to these sort of problems as there is no fault tolerance at all. If any of the disks were stalling or if there are errors on any of the disks it can cause serious issues for a RAID0. Are all the disks OK? You can check it in the disk_info.log
Do you have have a backup of the data? If so, you are best to factory default and restore from backups. Also, you might want to consider whether RAID0 is the correct RAID for your setup? It is rather risky on 4 drives I think.

Couldn't post the output of that command because it's too long, so I uploaded it to pastebin:

The data is not unique and I have backups I can restore from. I'll reformat as XRAID. disk_info.log does not show any issues. Here it is below for your reference, also:

Yes, your disks seems fine here. But a RAID0 is so intolerant that any hicpus can be problematic - the more disks involved the bigger the risk. It is hard to say exactly what caused it. The point is that there is no recovery for the filesystem once it encouters errors - as there is no redundancy.
I am glad you had a backup and that you are considering a RAID with some redundancy.Just as an FYI - things that can typically lead to filesystem corruption is:
1. Disk issues.
2. Filling the filesystem too much. You should leave about 10% free space.
3. Non-graceful shutdowns (such as power-cuts).
Best of luck!- ibell63Jun 26, 2017Aspirant
ReclaiME finds my filesystem and it appears that it will be able to recover data from it.
