OS resintall won't help. Is it configured as XRAID? If it is configured as mirror RAID, maybe try pulling out one of the disks and see if that will allow you to access the shares.

It would have been better to have backed up the data before reinserting disk 1. Hopefully the resync will be successful, making the backup unnecessary.
Overall RAID isn't enough to protect your data.
Good point StephenB, most of the data is backed up already in other places, I was just trying to bring the NAS back to life.
RAID sync finished in less than 9 hours and the volume looks to be fully functional again. Big thanks to JennC and StephenB!

Hello dorian50,
I am glad that it is now back up and running. I suggest to always have full backup of the data because sometimes, it happens that both disks get big problems and in that event, you will lose the data.
You might want to consider upgrading to ReadyNAS OS6 too. :)
If the issue is now resolve, I encourage you to mark the post that most helped in resolving the issue on this thread so it will help others too who may be encountering the same issue.

JennC, does the ReadyNAS Duo v1 support OS6 or would I have to upgrade the hardware too?
