ReadyNAS NV+ dead drive no backup please help!
Current state: With disks 1,2,3,4 in I get a booting... Bad Disk Found With disks 2,3,4 in it will boot but Frontview is never accessible. Also says that 1/1GB are free (all 4 drives are 1TB). R...
Test the new disk first.
As you cannot boot with all 4 disks or with 2,3,4; you'll need to add the disk in place of disk 1 then boot the unit.
You need to buy 2 new disks at least, as you said drive 4 was giving reallocated sector errors before all of this started. It may also need to be replaced soon and a resync that happens when (if) the volume rebuilds may precipitate/ accelerate a failure.
It is a bit strange that you could not boot or access your data if there is only 1 drive failure.
Did you tell support that only 1 disk gave errors?
