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
I can't see the screenshot as it wasn't approved yet.
Download the logs from the GUI, search for md127 in dmesg.log and paste an extract here.
Maybe you want to upvote this "idea" as well: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-for-ReadyNAS/Change-the-incredibly-confusing-error-message-quot-remove/idi-p/1271658
Thanks for the reply! I can't download the logs, I get the following error:
<xs:nml xmlns:xs="http://www.netgear.com/protocol/transaction/NMLSchema-0.9" src="browser" dst="nas" locale="en-us"></xs:nml>I've upvoted the idea, of course! I suspected right off the bat that I shouldn't do what it was suggesting and that's why I came here...The NAS is generating a lot of logs, I'm attaching an screenshot of it.
I tried using SSH to create a dmesg log myself but I couldn't because I got the error "dmesg: write failed: No space left on device"!! My HDDs have plenty of space but of course it's referring to the internal space of the NAS. How could this happen? I have only one app in use, Transmission, but my use of it is very light, occasional. I also use the amazon drive synchronization.
So here's the output of dmesg which I got by hand using SSH:

Thank you very much for your help!
Hello sectoid,
Please try to download the logs from Raidar softwae utility.
