data loss
5 TopicsRN204 - Please remove inactive volumes in order to use the disk
After the automated disk maintainance had ran I found it could no longer be discovered on the net. So I powered down and up my RN204 to find the weird 'resyncing' message on the LCD screen. Took several hours to resync. After that I find no volumes on the NAS and the confusing error message in my RAIDar screen with status message that volume data is rad level 5 and there is 0 MB data. Also a second volume that is new with same message, both in yellow highlight. Wen I log in as Admin I find a 'Please remove inactive volumes in order to use the disk. Disk #1,2,3,4 in order to use the drive' and the disks marked in red instead blue in the picture of the raid.Not shure what caused this, nor how to solve this. Use Readynas 204 with four bays containing identical 6 TB WD60EFRX drives (none of them indicating errors in SMART) in RAID 5 (Xraid) confing on lastest FW (v6.8.0) No clue how to solve this error. Can someone please help me with some advice? Thanks Hans1KViews0likes3CommentsReadyNASPro2 data loss after freeze and reboot?
Hi all, i got a big problem with my readyNasPro2. After my return from vacation my nas totaly got freezed. After the reastart without changing the configuration it claimed "A new disk was added to the ReadyNAS. If multiple disks have been added, they will be processed one at a time. Please do not remove any added disk(s) during this time." Now it looks like all my data is not accessible or even gone. When i reeboot the message "The paths for the shares listed below could not be found. Typically, this occurs when the ReadyNAS is unable to access the data volume. RNXconfig documents media DVBLink Dropbox backup MemeoBackup" appers. (where the mentioned names, starting with documents, are my shares) I removed the drives to check whether this is only affecting one drive. The error occors with each single disk. When i connect via SFTP there is only 1 file showing up under the c/. Do you have any ideas to get access or recover my data? Thank you very much in advance! best regards, Martin --- When i boot the ReadyNAS i get the following messages: 1) ***** File system check performed at Mon May 29 10:13:03 CEST 2017 ***** fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014) fsck.ext4: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/c/c Possibly non-existent device? --- 2) The paths for the shares listed below could not be found.

Good Evening Community and NETGEAR Staff - Needless to say at the moment, I am very frustrated; the ONLY thing that consoles me, is that it seems that I am in NO WAY the ONLY person experiencing issues [ I ALWAYS hate doing updates and this proves me right ]... By now this is not anything NEW - my problems start w/ Inactive Volumes, which leads to ALL of MY DATA suddenly *poof* = GONE; which of course explains why there are NO Apps ( PlexMedia, SickRage, VPN, etc... ) nor do I have the ability to ADD any new ones. After the update ( yesterday ) - everything appeared to come up as expected / normal - it wasnt until today when I was attempting to use PlexMedia that I noticed that the system was none responsive, I also attempted to access my shared network drives and saw that it too wasnt working - as I have in the past I decided to reboot the NAS and get it back ONLINE -little did I know that I was signing my own death certificate. After taking a while to shutdown, waiting for a bit and then cold booting the device - I learned that the system is hosed ( honestly I am hoping that its a buggy OS and that everything is safely in there somewhere otherwise WTF! -apologize but honestly frustration is kicking in )... Looking through the logs, ( like many others ) I too see errors about some files affected with a virus which is funny since the anti-virus app was none responsive after the upgrade ( yes I was prepaired for that, after getting the e-mail informing me - however wasnt that supposed to have occured back in the beggining of Jan' 2017 -here we are in Feb a little back dated or delayed -No? -I figured by now it would've been safe to go back into the water -Never learn ). So like everyone else I will do my best to be patient, and if I wind up having to pay for support - then it better come w/ a Guarantee that they will Recover what has clearly been corrupt by a buggy update.Ready NAS rn12p 3200 cant access my files
