JennC: seems you are right, even with the cloned disk it still shows "dead" - I've opened a ticket through the link you sent me last Thursday, but have neither received a confirmation email nor a response. At the end of the ticketing process i was shown my ticket number and some phone numbers to call, am i supposed to contact them by phone and there is no support by mail ? As it seems you are working for Netgear - This NAS is a backup of a remote system and thus has less importance for me, i still do have the data on the main NAS. After looking at the logs and command line tools it seems i "just" need to add the cloned disk to the system using mdadm tools, after this it should be able to rebuild - Can someone please let me know the costs for this by PM ?
