johnw230873 your suggestion would not have worked in this case as the array did not come up in the NAS.

Ah I see. Still, I'm glad I'm aware of this. Knowledge is power

That's odd. Normally with the array not being assembled in the NAS it wouldn't come up so easily in a Linux PC. You might want to check and see if the NAS hardware is O.K. or not. If it came up so easily in a Linux PC one would suspect there may be a hardware issue with the NAS unit. Perhaps run a few passes of the memory test boot menu option for instance. There may be some other hardware problem.

I was very surprised to see it just appear in Linux so easily like that, with all of the folder and file structure intact and all data readable too after weeks of being unable to see anything through the web interface or ATP, SMB/CIFS, windows etc and with all those nasty looking log entries. It does seem to have been working ok the last few days since doing a factory reset and putting all the data back on from fresh after it all re-initialised. I'll get the memory test running now and will do a few more passes throughout the day. It has served me well over the last few years but part of me kind of wants there to be a hardware problem so I have more of an excuse to upgrade to a NAS with enough processor power to transcode with Plex but I'll see what the tests indicate first...
