mount_block_root +25e message
Have a RN51600 unit that was purchased in 2014 as a back up for a unit that was not functioning 100% but eventually was updated and operated for several years more thus this unit was not put into ope...

Thank you for the quick response. I have attempted this as stated with several different types of USB sticks but the unit rarely goes past the Booting from USB and when it has the same mount_block_root +25e message appears. Seems that my research has shown this happening to many of the same models after firmware updates or power outlages. Our pow never went completely out just flickered but I also have the unit on an APC surge/battery back up plius the the electrical supply panel has a surge protection built in and the property is has an automatic back up generator.
I do not know if I should try another make of USB drive as some in the forums have indicated. Thus far I have utilized two new NXT 16GB, one PNY 16GB and oneSanDisk Cruzer mini 256MB.
Not sure any of this is working. Sad that this unit was put in use not too long ago and has never had any issues like disk failures or errors prior to this. So before I get too far in, the question may be if the disk that are in the unit can not be placed in a new unit will I still be able to get my data?

When did you purchase the NAS? The warranty is 5 years for the original purchaser, so it might still be in force.

Smaller drives tend to work better for this, so if you have another small drive it'd be worth a try.

If the array is still intact, you can migrate it to a new OS-6 ReadyNAS. I'd suggest one of the x86 models (currently shipping models are RN426, RN428, RN526, RN528, RN626 and RN628)
