Thanks for the quick reply. The problem is that I can't even access Frontview or ssh into the box right now. How do I send the log in this case?

The only thing I have so far is an automated email sent by the ReadyNAS telling me that RAID sync has started, and that was a week ago.

RAIDar can't even find my ReadyNAS. Any other ideas? Should I just try to reboot? I hope not to lose any data. Thanks.

  So you don't have a backup?
  
  Sounds like there probably has been a problem with the raid sync. Why this happened would require some diagnosis.

    Unforturnately I don't have all the data in backup, but I can afford to lose some of the other ones.
    
    Anyway, how do I do the diagnosis? and what do you think it's the best course of action at this point?
    
    Thanks.
