Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1,2,3.
My first attemt looks to have failed. Sorry if this is a repeat. My network started to have files access issues and after rebooting everything but the NAS i had nothing left but now I have lost my X-RAID volume and its shares. I have now rebooted and power cycled a number of time and still no luck. I does look like I have a drive going bad (disk2) but it does look to be operational still so that does not explain my issue. Looks like other before me have had the same problem but they do not seem to have a viable resotution for me. Running 6.9.1 X-RAID with 3x 4TB drives Any thoughts?

Recovering volumes from ReadyNas Ultra 6
Is there any way to recover volumes on a readynas running RAIDiator 4.2.30? I had 6 hard disks, raid1 into 3 volumes and after doing an OS Reinstall, it can't recognise the volumes. The data is still intact as I can browse to the nas via clicking Browse on RAIDar, the original shares are there but I don't have access rights to them. Alternatively, what is the best software to use to read the data from the drives and then I can wipe them and start again?

ReadyNAS312 move disks to replacement 312 - easy?
Hello, hopefully a simple question. I have a (months old) 312 unit on OS6.6.1 that is making me sweat with its behaviour (call it UNIT-A). I have an identical NEW 312 unit also on OS6.6.1 and a basic build that has been added to ReadyCloud ( call it UNIT B) Both are 2 Bay units. Is it really as easy as: Remove UNITB from ReadyCloud Factory reset UNIT-B (the new one). Gracefully shut it down. Remove its disks 2*2TB disks. Backup the config of UNITA (the worrying live one), Gracefully shut it down. Take its 2*2TB disks and put them into UNITB Start it up. UNITA is linked to ReadyCloud and has several cloud users. Do I need to unlink it from the ReadyCloud before taking the disks out and putting them into the new UNITB? Assuming UNITB boots OK with the swapped disks, should it then be added to ReadyCloud using the same account as UNITA;s Then, restore the config from UNITA to reinstate the users & permissions etc? I've based this question on the vague sheet: http://kb.netgear.com/22895/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Migrating-a-volume?cid=wmt_netgear_organic

Brand New ReadyNas 204 2 x 3TB drives only show as 2.72TB
Hi all, Sorry for the possible noob question here but I am completely new to NAS. Just decided to invest in a new NAS 204 and bought 2 x 3TB WD Red drives to install from out of the box. Went through full install (8 hrs) but unsure why they only show as 2.72TB ? Here is a screen grab from the home page. Apologies if this is something straight forward... Cheers, Nick
