My backup NAS was victim of a power outage and since it restarted, one disk shows errors and sometimes "Unmountable: No File System". 

 

As I'm only able to access it remotely through a VM I'm not able to stop the array. At first I tried to repair it:

xfs_repair -v /dev/md6
xfs_repair: cannot open /dev/md6: Device or resource busy

Then I unmounted it:

umount /dev/md6

And repaired it again:

xfs_repair -v /dev/md6
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
superblock read failed, offset 0, size 524288, ag 0, rval -1

fatal error -- Input/output error

Tried remounting:

mount -t xfs /dev/sdg1 /mnt/disk6
mount: /mnt/disk6: special device /dev/sdg1 does not exist

Checked all existing disks and it seems to be dead as sdg / sdg1 is missing completely:

Could I check something else? If not I would pick up the NAS in a few days and replace the disk and restore from backup.

You must start the array in Maintenance mode to run repair. Don't see it in SMART though. Maybe try rebooting

This is not possible. I tried it multiple times. It does not shutdown. My friend on the external location needed to hold the power button to reboot the server and finally after restart I'm in the same situation (not seeing the disk through terminal).

 

Does anyone have an idea to accces the WebGUI remotely without starting the array (I'm not able to open ports on the remote side)?

 

It's strange how the disk is listed (8.1 GB total size ^^):

Not sure what you are getting at. The WebGUI comes up regardless of the array status, I log into my server and manually hit the start button normally.

This is my external backup NAS. Its located in an other city. I'm able to control it remotely through a Lubuntu VM + VNC Viewer (Real VNC). If I would stop the array, the VM would be killed and I loose the ability to access it.

You should setup the builtin Wireguard. It works without the array started.

This needs only open ports on my location, right?

Open port to your Unraid server, Wireguard clients on devices that need access

Not possible. It's not my router. Could the external NAS connect to my server as a client so it becomes part of my local network or are open ports on both sides a must?

Never tried it any way where Unraid was not the one with the open port, clients don't need any. Maybe ask on the Wireguard thread.
