Hi Ian As StephenB said, I can take a look at the logs for you. When you access the NAS Web Interface, go to: System > Logs and here you will see a button called "Download Logs" on the right-hand side. Click this and it will download a zip file with all the NAS logs inside. Take this zip file and upload to your Dropbox, Google Drive or similar and then make a link where I can download the log zip file. PM me this link please. Then I will have a look to see what is going on. Cheers

Hi ipb_uk Your data raid and disks are OK, so that is good. I was a little worried about this, as you mentioned the NAS had some unexpected shutdowns due to a thunderstorm. But the hardware looks OK at least. I can also see that the reason for the cryptic message of: "Remove inactive volumes" happens because the NAS cannot mount the data volume, despite the raid running fine. This would indicate filesystem issues and indeed, the kernel log confirms that the BTRFS (filesystem) log tree is damaged. As BTRFS is a journaled filesystem, the NAS would have tried to do a journal check post the unexpected shutdown, but it seems the filesystem journal got corrupted or damaged during those shutdowns.Jul 20 20:37:43 Pro kernel: BTRFS info (device md125): has skinny extents Jul 20 20:38:42 Pro kernel: BTRFS info (device md125): start tree-log replay Jul 20 20:38:42 Pro kernel: BTRFS error (device md125): parent transid verify failed on 25029252612096 wanted 8127492 found 8126807 Jul 20 20:38:42 Pro kernel: BTRFS error (device md125): parent transid verify failed on 25029252612096 wanted 8127492 found 8126807 Jul 20 20:38:42 Pro kernel: BTRFS warning (device md125): failed to read log tree Jul 20 20:38:42 Pro kernel: BTRFS error (device md125): open_ctree failedThis should be easy enough to fix as you can simply reset the filesystem journal. You will need to log into the NAS over SSH (via the root user). Not sure if you have used SSH before?The command to reset the log tree/journal is:btrfs rescue zero-log /dev/md125Afterwards, reboot the NAS gracefully from the Web Interface.If you need help accessing the NAS over SSH, let us know.Cheers

This is XRAID, correct? If so, then you'd normally be mounting /dev/md127. md125 (and md126) would be added on raid layers due to vertical expansion.

    Hello Everybody,
    
    If I've not given enough detail, please let me know.
    
    The problem is that my rndp6000 is giving me the message "Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,2,3,5,6.".
    
    Is this retrievable? If so, how?
    
    It's on firmware 6.10.5 Hot fix 1. I can send the logs if needed.
    
    I know a little unix, but haven't used it for sometime. I haven't gone into the box. But, I can do if given the instructions to do so. I'll keep it off until someone tells me it's safe (ish) to start it up.
    
    Thanking you & my very best, Ian.
