The backup job was completed last night at 2022-11-15 04:40 And when browsing my External USB disk I find 589 .dar-files and a single .lst-file

Hmm, a bit wierd perhaps, but when I inserted the other two disks and rebooted the NAS, the Volume was again identified as 'degraded', and the box started beeping. When I opened the Storage Manager the webb interfaced showed a degraded volume, just as it did last time before I tried to repair the RAID with my latest disk.…

Ok, here's the result;

Hmm... I hotpulled the disks :s maybe not the smartest way? - Sorry! After rebooting the NAS (with only the ddrescued disk 3 inserted) I get; Rebooting again with only disk 2 inserted; Rebooting again with only disk 4 inserted Disk 2 is device 1Disk 3 is device 3Disk 4 is device 2

Ok, thanks for your input - quite a bit to take in :) I removed all disks except the ddrescued one (Disk3); But it says "Device Role : Active device 3" you wrote: So now I don't know if that disk is the problem or not?

I've rebooted the NAS and now I can reach the WUI again; The array is down, all disks are identified as hot spares. What about removing Disk 1, 2 and 4 and then try to run e2fsck on Disk 3 (the one I ddrescued)?

OMG - this never ends... I ran the dmesg command - you'll find it attached. So another of the old disks are gone? So I need to reboot, to see what's wrong with the array?

Ok, I've inserted the new disk now and repaired the RAID via the WUI. I started it last night and this morning the re-synching had reached 40 %. But now almost 12 hours later, the WUI doesn't respond when I try to log on. But I can log on via Putty... Is it safe to reboot the box? Or are there some other way to see how the…

Ok, here's the result, tried it 3 times; 1st try; 2nd try; 3rd try;

Tried that... and that seems to have turned things in a new direction =) I then tried to mount it manually Then I rebooted the NAS and opened up the WUI; Tonight my delivery from Amazon Prime arrives with a brand new Seagate Ironwolf 3 TB disk. I will insert that as Disk1 and hopefully it should be possible to repair the…

Hmm... are we back at square 1? Tried to mount tried that command and looked at the last row tried to resize (according to your previous comment) and tried to run that command

I've inserted the 2 old good disks together with the new copy and rebooted the NAS. It starts beeping and when opening the WUI it says the RAID is crashed/Full. And when examining the status of the array; and Would the same three commands work now as well?

Haha, thanks for your input! I'll be away for a couple of days now, but what would be the next step? - Mount the new disk together with the other two working disks. And then reboot the NAS? Are there any specific commands etc that's of interest at this stage?

@Mijzelf whats your thoughts? Now it is scraping failed blocks... and that seems to be very time consuming;100 kB took about 1 hour. What to do? Consider it done, or keep it going? 

Now at 84,2% and a few read errors found;
