I made a good number of mistakes in this process. All I can do is be open and honest in my error and hope for the best. PM sent.

I have seen several tutorials on using SSH and am looking to simply recover the Volume. All disks show being part of data-0 and the group data-0 shows the correct 27.27tb. It does show zero free space. There is another volume of zero size called data.
Any help or guidance is appreciated!
Reboot up the system with all disks in place. Then download the full log zip file from the admin web logs page.
If you'd like me to analyze the zip file, then upload it to cloud storage (dropbox, google drive etc). Send me a PM (private message) with a link to the zip. Make sure the permissions are set so anyone with the link can download. Note you send a PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
Don't post the link publicly, as there is some privacy leakage when you do that.

FYI, hot-inserting the two disks you removed was also a mistake.

StevenB absolute legend! He was able to guide me through the correct parameters to rebuild my Volume. I am currently resynching. Lesson #1 don't pull drives. Lesson #2 don't listen to your local experts.
Just a big blessing to have a resource like this when Netgear is done supporting a project!
