ReadyNAS RN104 Dead Message
I have had no problems with my ReadyNAS RN104 for 7+ years in RAID 5, when a few days ago I got this message: "Disk in channel 4 (Internal) changed state from ONLINE to FAILED." I had been running wi...

Not good news, but potentially fixable. You definitely don't want to create a new volume.
Try downloading the full log zip file. There's a lot in there - if you want help analyzing it, you can put the full zip into cloud storage (dropbox, google drive, etc), and send me a private message with a download link. Send the PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page. Don't post the log zip publicly.
Do you have any experience with the linux command line?
I'm asking because there are two main options to pursue:
- try to force the volume to mount in the NAS
- use RAID recovery software with BTRFS support (ex: ReclaiMe) on a Windows PC.
The first option requires technical skills and use of ssh/linux command line, the second option will incur some cost.

Thank you--I have PM'd you with a link to the log file.
The NAS was used with a Mac, I have a Mac and have used Terminal to some degree.
I also have access to a Linux PC and have some rudimentary command line experience, but my experience is thin. Considering that I have the original 3 4TB drives (and the 4th) that seemed to have produced error-free copies, I can presumably re-copy them if my linux "experience" does more harm than good to the 3 6TBs I have in the NAS now.
At this point, you don't think there is any use in adding back the 4th drive to the NAS, right? Either the 6tb or the 4tb?
