RR4312X - Volume Degraded after FW update to 6.10.2 no drive errors shown

We just upgraded from 6.10.1 to 6.10.2 Firmware when we reboot we noticed that log files in the GUI  show volume data is degraded but when we check each drive under Volume tab they are all green... and checking each drive under 'settings - disks" there are no ATA etc errors..  so I am wondering when we download the log files what specific log file should we be looking at to find out more info on what happened.. and if we should be doing indivual drive tests/scrub or troubleshooting steps moving forward.. thanks

    Look at mdstat.log - it should give you the status of each RAID volume (including the OS and swap partitions).  Look for disks that are missing, marked as spares, or flagged as not working.

        Well, it means it's dropped out of the array. It could have failed, or gotten out of sync somehow.

         

        Removing the disk and testing it in a PC with vendor tools (Lifeguard for Western Digital; Seatools for Seagate) is a reasonable next step.  If the drive passes, you could then zero it (both utilities have a way to do that), and hot-insert it back into the NAS.  It should resync at that point.  If it doesn't, try rebooting the NAS.

         

        You could also download the log zip file, - checking the SMART stats and looking for any disk-related errors in system.log and kernel.log.
