Sounds like disk 1 has failed in raid5, with no spares.

You will need to replace disk 1. Setup as Hot spare. Then the snap should rebuild the array. Depending on the array size it may take 24 hrs to repair if there is a lot of data on it.

Raid 5 scatters data across all drive in the array. The other drives have parity info for rebuild a failed drive. The reason you can't read the data is 1 chunk is missing. The dada is not lost.
