Well I would backup the data onto another disk if you can (don't try and overwrite the existing data).
Then with only good new disks in the NAS do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) and restore your data from backup.

You should update to the latest firmware ReadyNAS OS 6.5.2 which is now available!

Ok have upgraded to 6.5.2 no problems
However the resync says it has finished but data still degraded
The second drive in the array has ata errors on it so I have replaced this with a new disk which I have tested with seagate tools and passed long test
Now the new drive i have put in is showing green online but blackd out and there seems to be no way of forcing a resync I have pulled the drive back out waited 10 minutes and then replaced it with the same results.
I am unable to access my data at this point as I cannot get disk 2 to sync with disk 1 as I had to replace disk 1 as it failed as well how do I force a sync with the good drive in disk 1 from the bad drive.
Then I could simply replace the sick drive and resync and all would be ok
thanks

Do you have a backup?
- CalmSep 12, 2016Aspirant
Yes have backup
is there a way to tell the sync to ignore the ata errors so the bad disk would sync with the good one as with the bad disk in the data is still readable.
It says it is rebuilding to the new disk and finishes but says not redundant so obviously it isn't writing the entire drive across.
thanks
