Hi phazelab,
Engineering took a look on your logs and they said it is really hard to determine what may have caused the file system corruption on your NAS.

Thank you for your help.
I'm about to do a full reset of the NAS and start over.
Seeing that it is used as an Acronis backup destination for about 10 office PCs and a Server, I think I'll set the drives as 4 individual volumes (no RAID).
This way, if a volume should fail, the others might still stay up. I'll also be replicating the backups to a second NAS from the backup software.
