Remove inactive volume to use the disk. Disk#2,3,4 (again)
Hi
I recently had this incident:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Missing-volume-after-power-failure/td-p/1246361
and by miracle the system came back up.
So I did a backup to amazon cloud with the most important stuff and replaced the faulty disk (sdc) with a new one.
The system started to sync and after a while I got:
* Disk in channel 3 (Internal) changed state from RESYNC to ONLINE.
then
* The resync operation finished on volume data. However, the volume is still degraded.
then
* Volume data health changed from Degraded to Inactive.
And then the system froze.
After a reboot I was back on square one with "Remove inactive volume to use the disk. Disk#2,3,4"
So what gives?
Is my data really lost this time? Is the NAS breaking my disks somehow?
The only disk related error I can find is on sda and "Current Pending Sector Count: 4"
I downloaded the logs if it can help.

Hi F_L_,
Please send the logs to us.
How do I send all logs to ReadyNAS Community moderators?

Hi
I ended up replacing my 2TB drive and making a factory reset.System is up again.
Will probably try 6.7.0 soon
