[RN102] Jbod boot up problem

Well yes the data on disk 1 is gone. You say when you booted up disk 2 showed up , I thought you had put the old disk 1 in with disk 5; how does disk 2 get involved here? What is not clear is why disk 5 is not coming up, you didn't change the slot it was in did you? Have you tried booting the 102 with only disk 5 in ? I would persist with support, the problem you are are asking them about is why disk 5 is not accessible. You had this setup correctly and even if you were to remove or change the disk in the other slot, it should have behaved as an independent volume. I would also suggest that you should rethink the way you manage your data. The nas units hardware and the disks and the operating system are not designed to be used in the way you are. ...and of course, backup.

Yes, sorry. My mistake, I wrote DISC2 instead of DISC1.

And no, I didn't change the slot DISC5 was in. I also tried to boot up with only DISC5 in the NAS but I had the same result: empty. It also doesn't show the name volume in the System page.

You're right about how I manage my data, I should use a Raid 1 approach.
