No volume after swapping drives from NAS-104 to NAS-314. I can see all the data, but I can't reboot

Hello,

I had an existing NAS-104 which died (the chassis, not the hard drives) - this was confirmed by support.

I managed to get a NAS-314 and I put all the drives in one-by-one in the same order as they were in previously

The system went through a resynch for about 24 hours.

Now, I can successfully go to the NAS and see all my data - it looks to be fine from my perspective

Also, there are no issues with the hard drives (they all show as healthy)

However, if I try to reboot the NAS i get a message below. So I think "ok I need to create a volume", but when I go to the Volume page it doesn't seem like I Can do that as the new volume button is not able to be clicked. Do I have to disable x-raid or something?

I can see my images when editing this post, but for some reason they don't show up when viewing, so i've also attached them

  For some reason it's not detecting the volume properly. My first guess would be an issue with the volume label of the filesystem itself and in /etc/fstab. That sometimes needs to be manually corrected to be set for the new hostid when migrating disks to a new chassis.

    The proper procedure was to put all the drives in together with the power off. Upon boot, a re-sync shouldn't have been needed unless the failed NAS damaged the volume when it died. If you did put them in one at a time with power on or with power on in between each, as I read your post, then you are lucky to get where you are instead of a totally dead volume. Please confirm if you moved them all before powering on or had power on at any time before all were transferred.
