Readynass RN104 - hot swap problem #26498818
Hello from France
I have a readynas 104 with 4 HDD (3x3To + 1x1To ~6.3To only one Volume with X-Raid)
I bought a new 3To HDD to replace the 1To. I did an hotswap, but wrong disk, so I let it ...

I think that if you first pulled the wrong disc and then try to use it in another bay, you have to format it beforehand, so 's the NAS sees it as a previously used disc.
If he doesn't have a backup he should contact support. In the screen shot, none of the volumes are functioning (including the original xraid volume).
Thank you for the replies.
I have opened a ticket for support.
But I tried lundmilo's idea :
I pulled out the disk 4, replaced it with the new 3To nothing happened, for sure.
I waited a couple of hour, and I replaced it with the disk 4. And now it resyncing. I don't understand why or what...
If it resyncs, it must know a RAID is lying down there
just destroy the data-0 and data-1
it should rebuild under x-raid

I think it is very likely that the data will be lost.
Which is why (yet again) I am suggesting support.netgear.com if the OP has no backups.
The more things you try on your own, the more difficult the fix becomes. So unless you are skilled and know what you are doing, it is best to engage support early - and not do more damage.
I agree with StephenB. Don't try to fix this yourself and contact support.
