Remove inactive volumes - RN314
Hi,
So I updated to Firmware 6.9.4 the other night, I turned the nas off yesterday afternoon and restarted it this morning to be greeted with "Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1,2...
Hi Marc,
Thanks for that, I hadn't replaced any disk taken anything out for that matter.
So it's possibly down to a drive failure? If so, do I have to have replacement disks ready? (I have none atm) The drive is still under warranty though, it also says it's healthy on raidar
Are the drives bundled with the NAS? or they still have warranty with the Manufacturer? I would advised claiming warranty from the Manufacturer or NETGEAR if this is the case.
You will have to ready your replacement once this is handled by L3 experts, The lost of volume data is from the drive failure and not the upgrade itself.
RAIDar might be showing healthy disks but what needs to be done is to have your RAID mounted so you can access Data. I do think that only Disk on Ch4 is the only one needing replacement.
Hope this helps!
Regards

Could it be result of a sudden loss of power (we had storms)? I didn't think we lost power but I was off site.
That could be it. If the NAS shut down with cached writes that never got written then the system might do a resync. There are counters on each drive maintained by mdadm (the program that does the software RAID), so it will detect lost writes.
Is the NAS protected by a UPS?
Unfortunately it's not protected by a UPS which I do regret in hinds sight. I suspect it may be a result of loss of power, and the drive log did say something referencing pending sector count.
