Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1,2,3,4.
I have following issue, after a reboot, my ReadyNAS says error message "Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1,2,3,4."
Before the reboot I had following issue:
All shares I could access with read, although the (only active user) has read and write access and is also admin of the ReadyNAS.
But to any folder I couldn´t write anymore, although since years it worked, and no settings had been changed.
So as there was no missing rights for the User, I decided to reboot the ReadyNAS, to fix the issue.
But: after the Reboot it says: Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1,2,3,4.
NO DATA IS READABLE ANYMORE!! All shares are lost, all data is lost.
But it says incative volume.
Is there a possibility to make the volume active again??
The 4 harddisks (4x Seagate IronWolf NAS 2TB)don´t have a hardware issue, and the ReadyNAS recognizes them correctly.
Firmware Version is 6.9.3
It seems to be a problem of the ReadyNAS Firmware!

Hi John,
thanks for your quick reply.
Yes, I still can access the logs, didn´t have a look at them before.
Interesting seems to be the volume.log
The Last line of this Log:

The

That matches with my expierence, that I before the reboot still could access the data as read only.
So to me it seems the Problem occured during balancing.
