    I can see that there is used 31%, but I can't access the date. Volume 1 have only sda, sdb and sdc, sdd is marked as hotspare. Should I try and recreate the volume again, with all four disks?
    I'm planing to backup the entire volume, when I gain access to it, and I have a 12TB USB disk ready to use!

    In that case the filesystem is OK.

    Your shares are 'lost' because they are on another volume. For reasons unknown to me ZyXEL identifies the volume on the UUID of the raid array, instead of the UUID of the filesystem. The filesystem is still the same, but you created a new raid array around it. So go to the shares menu, and promote your directories on the volume to shares.

    I can't do anything with the "lost" shares in the shares section.

    All your data is still there.

    You can't do anything with your lost shares, because the firmware implementation won't let you. A 'share' is from the firmware's view, nothing more than a directory which is marked 'share', with the right credentials and ownership. More specific, it's the directory /i-data/<volumename>/<sharename>/ which has this mark. Problem is, volume <volumename> doesn't exist anymore, as the raid array doesn't exist anymore. and the firmware doesn't allow you to edit the directory name of the share.
    The data is still there, but the volumename has changed. (Btw, the real volume name a an 8 digit hexadecimal value, something like 'C12DAF54'. If you look at the contents of /i-data/ , 'ls /i-data', you'll see the new volumename. Not that it matters) So you'll need a better look in the shares menu, and find the directories on the new volume, to turn them into a share.

    I did what you told me to do, and then enabled the shares, and gave read/write access to them also, and then all files are back. Copying them to 12TB USB disk right now!! Thanks a lot for all your help!
