Disaster on a readynas 314 - need advice please
Going to simplify this - essentially this is all because of the 6.9.2 update causing NAS to not boot up after update. Not happy. I had 2 x 3TB drives as RAID1 in a 4 bay NAS. I installed a new 3TB drive hoping to mirror on to this, but didnt realise when I clicked add parity it turned the 3 drives into a RAID5. Resync started. I panicked, went and bought a new 4TB drive, put it in the NAS. Was in the admin / volumes page, and was hoping to make the 4TB drive a new partition, but it was late, and I thought I had clicked the 4TB, but I had clicked the 3TB that the RAID5 was syncing on, and clicked make new volume. When I realised what I did, I literally froze in shock (this is all my research / families data, and I was trying to be safe with it). I let the resync finish, which it did, and then I thought to my self I'll shutdown the NAS. Only for it to not boot again (in hind sight I should have just copied the data to the new 4TB then and there). Nothing would boot so I did a whole lot of resetting things (but with the new 4TB drive in only, new OS). I now have a fresh 4TB single drive system and when I add in the 3 other drives they show up as red in the volumes section. So basically I feel like I have a degraded RAID5 set of 3 disks (2 of which I think should be good) that won't boot. I am considering putting back in the 3 original disks (or 2, and reinstalling the OS on them from the boot menu?) WHat are my other options? I have downlaoded the logs using raidr but only when the NAS has booted using the 4TB drive, and then I insert the other 3TB drives (and they show up red). Also are others having really odd intermittent booting issues after the 6.9.2 update. Even on the new fresh install booting (and boot menu booting) are hit and miss.] ReadyNAS need your help!
RN104 degraded data after multiple hard disks failed?
Hello community, First of all i would like to express my dissapointment about this device on multiple levels.. its like i knew this would happen at some point. the NAS was constantly reporting that disk1 is about to fail so i bought a new one (the same) and hot-swap removed the old and insert the new. It started rebuilding the raid (X-Raid) and everything was normal and accesible. After several days the new disk was getting ready. At the exact point of getting ready another disk (number 3) turned from normal to failed.... and the Data is degraded and no volume is accesible. Which means disaster..thank you Netgear!!
volume data is degraded
I have a ReadyNas 314 with four 3TB western digital drives in Raid 6. I receive an message that the volume data is degraded but I don't see any error in the log with the hard drives. What I can do?

Wed Aug 17 2016 15:20:36 System: ReaReadyNAS 4220 - Disk expansion Volume 'data' is 'DEGRADED'.
Was expanding our X-RAID volume with the first of three disks. (Started with 7, and the goal is 10) The rebuild was started, but after 14 hours: How can I solve this? The only "fix" I´ve found here in the forum is to re-insert the disk. That feels a bit risk with a NAS for about 40 people.... Can I continue the expansion with the other 2 disks? Aperently the support is no longer valid and it´s not even possible to send them an e-mail.
