iSCSI corruption. Bitlocker locked? Not looking good, ALL my data!
So my LUN Volume has been working great with iSCSI initiators on windows 8.1 and now 10. No problem. Today, after upgrading my Surface Pro 3 to win 10,. I create a new initiator on the admin page for ReadyNAS, connect with the iSCSI initiator. and it connected, but right away had a exclamation mark thing over the drive letter in explorer for each drive. It was lagging bad and would keep giving (not responding) message in explorer. After a few mins I disconnected the initiator from the target and moved back to my main desktop PC. I reconnected on that PC like I normally have been, and now all of the drives are showing that exclamation point icon, and the drive that I was actually trying to access from the surface P3 is showing as bitlocker locked. If I try to open any of the drives in explorer, it says disk corruption or damaged. This is really freaaking me out being that this is literally all of my data and I am new to NAS so I was thinking that being that I had RAID 5 I was safe. It never occuired to me that I would lose 4 HDDs at once. Is there anything I can do or am I totally boned here? Please help and thank you in advance for ANY help.

Did you try accessing the same target using multiple devices at the same time? That will always lead to corruption. Accessing a LUN from one PC and sharing it from there is the way to go.
So you have no backup?
Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

Ok, I will look at the link in your sig. Then post the logs here to this conversation? And to answer, I only was using one computer at a time.

Definitely looks like the problem would be with your network or at the PC end.
I don't recommend using iSCSI with mobile devices as if you have something as simple as a brief drop of your Wi-Fi connection drop this can lead to corruption.
Looks like the health of the disks you are using is questionable however there have been no SMART errors since the last factory default about three months ago.

I used it on the Surface but when I was on that device I use a USB to ethernet connection. So is it recoverable or am I done for?

You would probably be best to contact support and ask them.
It may be that running a filesystem check of the filesystem on the LUN using your PC may help: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24912/~/readynas%2Freadydata-iscsi-lun-showing-as-raw-...

So I tried running the chkdsk through command prompt and it returns "the type of file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives. Then when I try to go to properties in disk management in tools, and do error checking, "The disk check could not be performed because Windows cant access the disk."
