RAIDar diagnostics reporting "Volume swap is 100.00% full"
RAIDar diagnostics is reporting that "Volume swap is 100.00% full", what does this mean and should I be concerned? The content of mem_info log is: MemTotal: 1003608 kB MemFree: 67...

Skywalker thanks for the offer re logs
I am going to pass on that just for now due to other problems I have trying to replace two drives, as I only have around 2TB of data I just started a Factory Default to solve this.
If the "Volume swap is 100.00% full" message is still there after completion I will send the logs.

My RN526 says it has a 1 GB swap partition (/dev/md1). Possibly that's what it means.
I suggest rebooting the NAS, and then check the RAIDar status again.

Have rebooted several times and still shows "Volume swap is 100.00% full"
Using putty I can see an entry in /dev
Name "+md1" Size "9,1" Modify Time "Sep 26 15:50"
I am not well enough versed in Linux to interpret that, where are you seeing your reference to dev/md1 Stephen?

Thanks StephenB
I am not seeing any entry after using that command
Something is wrong then, but I'm not sure how serious it is. If you've upgraded the memory in the pro above the 1 GB stock ram, then it probably matters less.
Hopefully someone from Netgear will chime in on how to fix it.
