ReadyNAS Ultra 4 "Volume scan found errors that it could not easily correct."
Hi all! First time poster, long time lurker. After years of happy use of the Ultra 4, I have my first (major) issue. None of the shares are mounting, presumably due to the missing volumes. Fur...

Excellent, I'm in as root and have been investigating. It seems that I keep circling around the following error:
EXT4-fs (dm-0): ext4_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 17216 not in group (block 623566614080)! EXT4-fs (dm-0): group descriptors corrupted!
I found a few descriptions of a similiar problem, each mildly horrifying and all fairly dated. Looks like I can pursue a few options
1) mke2fs - Seems the safest approach, any method to the madness?
2) Reboot without the volume check - Instructions say this is risky, but no reason given.
3) Mount with fuse and copy of the data to a new drive - All instructions point to use of ext2 which doesn't make sense to me.
4) Run fsck.ext4 - Seems I may lose data, but the disks didn't have any failures before....
5) ???

mke2fs creates a new file system, so I am puzzled why you'd want to do that. If you are ok with the data loss, a factory reset would be the next thing to try.
I'd probably try booting w/o the volume check next myself.
