Readynas 316 Volume is degraded (but all disks green)

So I have my system setup for X-Raid 5, Everythings been going good, but all of a sudden I have this volume degraded error. I have lost a disk before and it was pretty obvious that the disk had failed. But for this I am at a loss.

 

I am no programmer, but I did look at the logs, in the mdstat log it seems as though the system thinks one of the harddrives is removed, when its clearly not. Below I pasted the part Im refereincing.

       4       8       67        4      active sync   /dev/sde3
       5       8       83        5      active sync   /dev/sdf3

Anyone have any idea about this? Any smarter people wanna look at my logs and set me straight??

    Can we add this disk back into the volume and rsync it somehow?

     

     


    You can try clicking on the drive, and then clicking on "format".  After the format, it should be automatically added an XRAID volume.  With FlexRaid, you'd need to add it to the volume manually.

    Do you see recent error count increases in smart_history.log?

     

    Especially for the disk that's /dev/sdb (the disk may/may not show in disk_info.log)

      In the smart history log I can actually see the old HD that failed and all the errors it had under uncorrectable errors and ATA errors

       

      Under the HD that is shown as removed by the system, it has -1 for ioedc and 1 for cmd timeout, other than that its all 0s

       

      In the Volume log all the errors are also at 0

        Check e.g. kernel.log or systemd-journal.log for messages about the disk that is marked as failed.
