Volume Corrupted - lost all my backups - can't write new files
Updated to 6.9.1 and was working for a few weeks before I got a few warning by email that the volume was de-synchronized. So I went to check up what's up with that to find out my volume was not showi...
Can you still read the files from C+D? This is an old internal volume, correct? (not USB drives)
I think the most direct course of action is to
- back up the files on C+D
- reinstall A+B
- do a factory reset
- upgrade to 6.9.1
- restore the config
- restore the data from the backup.
The NAS doesn't see anything on any drives except the OS. I don't see my files or the shares or even the backup schedules but I see my users. I'll try to put them in a computer to see if there anything left.
Factory default seems like the way to go althought I don't think I'll be able to restore my config files as the NAS see them as corrupted. :(

Sorry, I meant to say recreate the config.

You'll need a linux PC,since Windows and OSX don't support btrfs.
I am thinking you've been rotating out internal drives as a backup strategy. There are issues doing that, and I suspect you've hit some of them.

That's right. I've been doing that for the last 2 years without any issue. I just put one drive, wait for it to boot than put the second one in it so they sync together.
What would you recommend me to do to make sure I keep at least one drive of backup out of site?
What I actually do is back up to other NAS, with a cloud backup for disaster recovery.
If I were backing up to hard drives, I'd go with USB backup, and format the backup drives as NTFS so the files were accessible on an ordinary PC.
