Please remove inactive volumes in order to use the disk - RN104
Hi,
I have a RN104 with 3 x 3TB drives that were configured in x-raid format. today it looks like at least 1 drive failed. the unit was frozen, and i had to pull the plug to get it to restart. ...
Just throwing my .02 in here.
I just experienced what appears to be the same issue as the OP in the last 24hrs. I recently (last weekend) purchased a RN204 with four 1tb WD RED drives. I noticed the nas drive was not displayed in my network via Windows Explorer. I logged on the nas drive and it displayed all four disks in red. Since there was very little data, i was not concerned about any data loss. I rebooted the nas drive and now all disks show up as healthly. As well the drive is now visible on my network.
The only action I executed in the last 24hrs is installing TVMobili (v1.0.4).
model: ReadyNAS 204
firmware: 6.4.1
Disks: 4 x WD10EFRX
Raid: 10 (encrypted)
Hallo again,
I have been in contact with tech support regarding my issue , data ( as mentioned before ) is restored, I am still not sure what caused the original issue.
ATA errors are not increasing , so would like to run diagnostic on the NAS to make sure it is safe to continue to work .
I run Test Disks from Boot menu and ... do not really know where the result is?
Could you please advice :
where ( in which system log) is the result of Boot menu /test disks command.
Can I run any other diagnostics to make sure my NAS is fine?
I will attach in a minuter the results of WinDlg
Try running the on-line disk test (click on the settings wheel next to the volume).
Thanks
Run the tests , where I can find the results?

The on-line test pass/fail is in the logs, and if you have email notification you will also be told either way.
And of course any issues would also show up in the SMART stats.
