Have you tried connecting that disk up to your PC, deleting the partitions off the disk, putting it back in the ReadyNAS and trying to add it again?
OK, so I SSH'd into the NAS. The disk in question is sdb. Running "lshw -class disk" shows the disk, with no mount point and no partitions. Running "fdisk -l" shows the disk, but throws the warning message "Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table."
