No problem. (whups -- first try went via email, N.G.)...
1. Installed (3) 2TB drives, added folders and transferred about 3 TB of data.
2. A drive failed (SMART) and I replaced it. Discovered it wasn't exactly transparent to do this task; instructions not step-by-step. Instructions just say "replace" and let sync.
3. Now that system is back to "Green - Ready" and no errors; decided to replace entire set with (3) 3TB disks because they are all same speed and model (hopefully better).
4. Replaced Drive #3, waited for resync. (Didn't happen)
5. powercycled unit using menu button; resync started and took several days.
6. Repeat 4,5 for Disk #2.
7. Repeat 4,5 for Disk #1
error as shown above..
8*. -- now transferring 3GB+ to "storageSpaces" in W2K12R2E, but that's likely to not work... (but backup better than nothing).
suggestions?
Please send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)
Sent as PM. (GoogleDrive not Dropbox, but wth)...

Update: I backed up the entire (almost 3TB) of data to a new "StorageArray" Raid5 on a server. (Some files, of course... refused to transfer).
I jumped off the bridge, and "Deleted" the volume Data-1 from the second two drives; and it worked. OR at least, looks like it... Now I wait?
The volume hasn't expanded (at least not yet) so you might need to try rebooting the NAS.
Perhaps send mdgm fresh logs.
If you want to continue on your own, perhaps try to get the problem files off the NAS too, and then do a factory reset (rebuilding everything, and restoring from your backup array). Try reseting the permissions on the share(s) those files are in, that might help.
