Than you very much for the reply.
It worked with disk 1 removed. It booted properly and I could reattach disk 1.

Another problem is that I can’t install any applications since a while. Restore the settings could help, but the data is away then…
Any idea?

Have you checked for a full root partition?

 

What have you tried to install?

    What does full root partition mean?
    The installed drives are more ore less empty?
    How can I see how full the root partition is?

    I tried for example to install the plex server application.

      The NAS boots from the disks, and there is a small OS partition (also called the root partition) on the drives.  That can get full.

       

      One way to check it is to download the log zip file, and look in volume.log  Scroll down to this section:

      === df -h ===
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev             10M  4.0K   10M   1% /dev
/dev/md0        4.0G  1.1G  2.7G  30% /
tmpfs           1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev/shm

      /dev/md0 is the OS partition.

      Did you download it directly from plex.tv?

        Looks pretty good I think:

         

        === df -h ===
        Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
        udev 10M 4.0K 10M 1% /dev
        /dev/md0 4.0G 1.4G 2.3G 38% /
        tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm
        tmpfs 2.0G 5.7M 2.0G 1% /run
        tmpfs 987M 8.7M 978M 1% /run/lock
        tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
        /dev/md127 15T 3.6T 11T 25% /Volume

         

        I tried   several applications. 

        "Available Applications" section.

         

        And also directly downloaded it from Plex.tv
