No volumes exist error
Background:
Encountered a different error with my readynas 214 quite a while ago that left my NAS in a read-only state. Got busy with other things (and actually sort-of considered read-only a "good thing" since my data couldn't be overwritten..) and just left it for a while.
Until.. it just stopped woSrking entirely (I think the triggering event was a power outage that caused the NAS to power cycle.. but fixing this has been on the back-burner for a while.. so I'm not certain).
Problem:
I'm getting an error message:
"No volumes exist.
No volume exists. NETGEAR recommends that you create a volume before configuring other settings.
Navigate to the System -> Volumes page to create a volume"
.. and it appears that all of my data has been wiped out.
So my questions are as follows:
- Is this recoverable? (Not the end of the world if not, data is backed up..)
- If I need to start all over again, is there any diagnostics or troubleshooting I should run before populating it with data?

definitely isn't.

Often the volume can be remounted, but there can be some corrupted files.
