Re: Replacing failed drive fails to sync, now all drives are inactive
Were you using XRAID or FlexRAID? Did you insert the drive with the volume in read-only mode?
One thing you could try is powering down the NAS, removing the 4 TB drive, and then boot up normally with that slot empty. If the volume re-appears, then try hot-inserting the 4 TB drive. You'll probably need to format it from the volume page to get it added to the array.

Re: Replacing failed drive fails to sync, now all drives are inactive
Hi StephenB,
I've been using XRAID. I replaced the original 2TB failed drive and it boots with status: Volume dat-0: RAID Level 5, Inactive; 5.4TB (100%) of 5.4TB used. I don't know what inactive means, but presume it means the volume is gone. I've attached a screen shot of RAIDAR.
I went ahead and formatted all drives, created a new volume, now syncing, then I'll recover from backup.
