ReadyNas 104 Volume inactive or dead

I am hoping someone can help me.

 

I was not able to access my network share that i have setup on my Readynas

 

So I logged into my Readynas 104 and everythinig looked ok, so i did a quick reboot to see if that fixed everything

 

Now all i get is the  "Volume inactive or dead"; all the 4 disks look ok, and i cant see anything in the logs to say something is wrong

 

on the volume page is says "Remove inactive volumes to use the disk disk #1,2,3,4.

 

Any ideas anyone?

 

I tried booting in read only mode, but nothing.

 

There is data on here that would be a magor lost; but i dont have ther money for any recovery service and to top it all off, i just bought a nice 8 bay nas for another location for the data!

 

Thanks

 

Andrew

  • On the Volumes tab, how many volumes are shown (typically, you'll see "data" "data-0", etc.)?

     

    On the Performance tab, hovering the mouse over the dot for each drive, which ones say they are a part of which volume?

      Hi
      On the volumes tab their is only one volume showing the cleverly name "Volumeone" (all showing red)

      On the Performance tab
      Disk 1 - is part of volumeone
      Disk 2 - is part of volumeone
      Disk 3 - is part of volumeone
      Disk 4 - is part of volumeone

      On this tab all disks are showing as green with no errors.

      Thanks

        Can you download the full log zip file, and post the contents of mdstat.log here?  Just copy/paste it into a reply (the forum won't accept .log files).  Don't post a downloadable link to the full zip, as there is some stuff in there that shouldn't be publicly posted.
