RAID 6 inaccessible after hdd upgrade
Hello, I had 4 seagate 3TB drives on my ReadyNAS 104 firmware 6.7.4, using RAID 6. One of them went bad, so I exchanged it for a seagate 4TB drive. After a few days resyncing, it finished without...

It's not referring to the Flash card but to the OS volume created on the HDDs.
You see, there are three volumes created on the HDDs, the OS, the swap and the data (multiple pieces for data in certain cases).
If it tells you that there is no space left when trying to extract the logs, that would mean that the OS volume is full. Sometimes, this prevents the data volume from being mounted.
Can you check with df -h if md0 is full?
If it is, follow these steps: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/RN314-FW-6-7-1-root-partition-full-how-to-fix/m-p/1284659/highlight/true#M130056
Hello sectoid,
Please try to download the logs from Raidar softwae utility.

Unfortunately both RAIDar and ReadyCLOUD can't connect to the NAS. RAIDar shows me all the info, including volumes, and I can click on download logs but it shows "Connecting to ReadyNAS ..." for a bit and then "Download process failed."
I can extract anything by SSH, I just need to know the location.
I'll admit that I'm starting to worry about, and miss, my data :(
It's kinda impossible to not get nervous in a situation like this!
Thanks for the help.
