Volume missing following crash and rebuild

Volume missing following crash and rebuild

ReadyNAS NV+ v2 running RAIDiator 5.3.12

 

When I woke up this morning I found that my NAS was turned off. I turned it back on and it immediately started an array rebuild (4x3 TB Toshiba disks, X-RAID). While it was rebuilding, I was able to view and access files on the NAS throughout the day (the rebuild took around 14 hours).

 

When the rebuild completed, I tried to access my files and received errors, so I rebooted the device. Once it came back up, it no longer shows my volume from the array, although it shows all disks as healthy. I suspect/hope that the data is intact, but the device just has become unconfigured for accessing it. I have ssh access, but I need guidance for how to go about recovering this.

Have you downloaded the full log zip file?  There are likely more clues in the logs.

The Logs section of the Dashboard just says "No Logs" and the Download Logs button does nothing

First enter

 

cat /proc/partitions

 

Check that all disks are shown.  

 

Check the disk health for thost disks using smartctl

smartctl -x /dev/sda
smartctl -x /dev/sdb
smartctl -x /dev/sdc
smartctl -x /dev/sdd

Look for

  • errors in the smart stats (pending sectors, reallocated sectors, etc)
  • failures in the SMART Extended Self-test Log section
  • errors in the SMART Extended Comprehensive Error Log 

 

Then

 

cat /proc/mdstat

 

and see what RAID arrays are assembled.

 

Last try

 

mdadm --examine /dev/sd[a-d][3-6]

 

 

You can post back with the output of these commands.
