Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1,2,3 - 2022
Hi Netgear Community. Please help me. I'm getting an error in my NAS saying "Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1,2,3" See attached screenshot All 3 drives is showing red....
Ooops. Im very sorry. It didnt suddenly work on its own. I received a mail from Netgear support that they mounted back the drive.
NETGEAR SUPPORT:
**The data volume succeeds to mount. The second drive is kicked off from RAID, and you should now do the following:
1 Pull the second drive out of NAS and put it into NAS again.
2 Format the second drive and make sure the second drive is clean.
3 Add the second drive to RAID and wait for the resync completed.

******UPDATE*****
ReadyNas suddenly start working properly with disk#2 only showing as fail, but I can still access the files through web gui ( but shared folders are not showing on computer through run). I replaced the disk #2 with a new 4TB drive and it starts resyncing. Hope it will work properly. Will let you know once it is finished.
What really happen was; person removed the disk#2 to check hdd sticker, after a minute he reinserted it back (it started resyncing as per him). He then removed the disk#1 (while the device is ON) to also check hdd sticker and while disk#2 is resyncing. He then turns OFF the device, inserted back disk#1 and turn ON the device again. After that, inactive volume 1,2,3 error shows up.
I don't know how and why it suddenly works. I just left the device ON with the drives & the errors, and then this morning when I access GUI, only disk#2 fail (which I replaced now).
I will now start backing up the files from Readynas to other system.
Question: Will the shared folders show up on computers over the network after resynchronization?
