Ok, backup again. This time, I am just leaving the new drive in and keeping volumes as is

Well, had it all recovered, reinstalled apps, etc. plugged in another drive because it said the raid was degraded and now it won't boot at all again. I am not understanding how adding a blank, additional 2TB drive would do this.

FYI: I now have my data back. Yes, I have to reinstall apps but that is ok.. @sbv3000. I CANNOT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!! I am so glad there are people like you that would take the time to guide and help someone out that you don't even know. Thank you so much for helping me and please never stop helping!

when I first booted up with new drive in controller 1, old drive 1 in sata port 2, drive 2 in 3, and 3 in 4, I had a blue link for repair. I did click on it. Didn't seem to do anything. Now, in overview in storage manager, I see one unused disk and 3 disks used. Disks 2, 3, and 4 show as raid group 1. Raid group 1 shows crashed. Suggestion: Unable to use this volume. The data in the volume may be crashed. Number of failed disks 2. Right now I am seeing no other options in storage manager.

Thank you for your quick reply and help. I have installed DSM onto a new drive connected to SATA channel 1 as you suggested. The older drive 1, 2, and 3 are connected to channels 2, 3, and 4. I have booted and the system shows the volumes as crashed. At this point is where I am somewhat confused how to proceed. There does not seem to be many options that I can choose from or any way to repair the volume. You mentions repairing the partitions from drive 1. Can you please elaborate on this procedure? Thank you!

Hey guys, I have an AMD system with 5-2tb drives. My system is on DSM 6.02 and using SHR. One drive failed and I replaced it. After doing so, the system will no longer boot to DSM. I have tried booting to Install, ReInstall, AMD, etc. I am able to see the system within the Synology Assistant and the only option I am given is to recover system. I choose this, system reboots, and the process starts all over again. I have placed the crashed disk back into the system and repeated the process. Nothing I do seems to get my system up and running. Please, any help would be great. I was going to try and get the data off the drives via Ubuntu but I could not get Ubuntu to mount after trying just about everything I could find on the topic. I can clearly see the drives and the raid set. If there is a way to restore my DSM, I would prefer this, I have so much stuff on my drives and want so badly to keep the data. Thanks in advance!

I too have run into this lately. Something has changed within VirtualBox or DSM. I use to use multiple bridged adapters and no longer can. I am currently running with the following: DSM 5.2-5967 Update 1 and VirtualBox 5.0.16-105871-3, and also using an ASROCK motherboard.
