ReadyNAS 516 - Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1,2,3,4,5,6

Hi all I wonder if anyone can assist & with the remove inactive volumes error that I now have on my ReadyNAS 516.

 

The error appeared after the NAS had the power cut to it whilst it was powering down.

 

I just wondered if there is anything that can be done prior to start any data recover. 

 

Since the drives took most of the day resyncing I was hoping that volume would have come back online but sadly it hasn't.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    Download the full log zip file from the logs page.  If you can't analyze it (there is a lot of stuff to wade through), then upload the zip to cloud storage (dropbox, etc), and send me a link in a private message (PM).  You can send the PM using the envelope icon in the forum page.  Make sure the link permissions are set so anyone with the link can download.

     

    Don't post the link publicly, as there is some privacy leakage when you do that.
