Bumping this topic - we're working with local files pulled from the backup but really need help.

Thanks!

Unfortunately it's not something I can help with. Hopefully someone from Netgear will reach out to you and at least check your logs.

Thanks StephenB. I've tagged mdgm-ntgr so hopefully, he or another Netgear guru will check in. I've got logs ready to send.

If you click in the box for the upper volume, does it then highlight just the drive in bay 5?
I agree that it is best to wait for a Netgear rep to look at your logs. But what it looks like to me is that your NAS somehow thinks that the drive in bay 5 is a separate volume, the main one at that, and is complaing that the remaining drives are "dirty" with data from some other volume, also named data. But two volumes with the same name are not allowed. In that case, booting with just drives 1, 2, 3, 4, & 6 would likely work.
While you wait for somebody to look at the logs, it may be a good time to test the drives and see if one has a problem that is creating this situation. Using a PC and manufacturer's tools is much better, and faster, than using the NAS's disk test.
