ReadyNas 316 - volumes inactive
I need help trying to recover/fix my NAS system. I noticed I was unable to write anything to it today, so I rebooted it (similar things have happened in the past). After a reboot the NAS comes back...
After a reboot the NAS comes back up as "healthy" but all the disks are Red and the NAS says all volumes are inactive and wants to remove them.
Unfortunately, the reboot wasn't the right next step. What was needed was backing up the data ASAP.
Do you have a backup of the files on the MAS.
but all the disks are Red and the NAS says all volumes are inactive and wants to remove them. I looked at the webui logs and it looks like after running snapshots the system went into read-only mode.
Obviously don't remove them.
Download the full log zip file - there is usually more information there on what caused the problem, and that guides the recovery process.
If you can't sort out the logs, you can put the full zip into cloud storage (dropbox, google drive, etc), and send me a PM (private message) with a link. Make sure the permissions are set so anyone with the link can download. You can send a PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
Thank you for taking a look at this. I just sent you a PM with my log file. I have a backup from a few months ago, but not super recent and I'm hoping to be able to recover what I can from the current NAS
