Raid 5 is down after successful rebuild (replaced the drive)
Hi,
After replacing the degraded disk in my ReadyNas 516 (firmware 6.10.3) w/3x4TB WD RedWorrier NAS drives and after a reboot the all the discs shows up as spare (green and healty) but the raid 5 button on the right hand side is not on (X-RAID).
I have not pressed the button to reeinitiate the raid as of yet. Is this recommendable to try out?
Please have a look at the log files for more details.

Ufortunelatly this is not the first time I have had problems with the raid and I ended up with two bad disks and a lot of money paid to support to fix it. I do not want to end up there again.

The disks look synced in mdstat.log

Does the volume tab show that the volume is redundant?

If you are talking about the X-RAID control, then X-RAID is enabled if there is a green stripe on the control.
If X-RAID isn't enabled, then it is safe to try to enable it. That won't trigger any RAID sync activity (and that is already finished).
I redacted your log links. Logs shouldn't be posted publicly (there is some privacy leakage when you to that).
