Remove inactive volumes to use the disk Disk #1,2,3,4,3,4 after updating to 6.9.0 Ready Nas 204
Hi Everyone,
This is my first post here so forgive any newb things i might say...
So i have had my nas system for a little while now and i have all 4 bays filled up and I havnt added any drives to it in a while. I mainly use it as a media server for plex so although its not life or death to lose everything it would for sure suck to lose all the data i have aquired over many years. Withou pulling any drives out currently I believe them to all be WD Red. I did a bit of looking in this forum before posting and found some people with similar issues but none really have any solutions yet. I dont knw much about how to read the logs but I did try yo follow along with what some of you were suggest to other people and i didnt see any drive errors in my logs but i can supply them if needed. So The other day i watch watching something from my plex server and it said the serve went offline and when i looked the nas was still connected but the plex app was turned off. I couldnt get it to turn back on. I noticed there was an update for the app so i attempted to install it but it kept coming up with an error and i couldnt figure it out. I had been puting off the nas OS 6.9.0 update for a few months now because last time it made my nas resync and it took almost a full week but I decided to just go ahead and do the update and it appeared to go smoothly but now I get this error message and Im not sure if it always showed 2 volumes on the left hand side or not but im not sure whats going on or what to do. I attempted to remove drive 1 and re insert and it took 2 days to resync but it didnt change anything. I can try the beta 2 release but then I wont have the option for netgear paid support. I dont really want to have to pay for support but I also just wan this fixed and hopefully not lose any data and if possible know what caused it to hopefully prevent it from happening again. Any Ideas???

Probably best to bite the bullet and use paid support. Ask about "per-incident" support, since it is cheaper than a support contract.

Thanks for that tip. I will probably do it after thanksgiving because its so hectic right now. I hope you have a good thanksgiving. In the meantime if anyone else had a similar issue and has anything else to add I would be happy to hear it. Thanks again.
