Remote connectivity issues after upgrading to 6.5.0
Hi, After upgrading to 6.5.0 I naturally had to create and upgrade to a MyNetgear account to use ReadyCloud on our 2 NAS boxes. At first this was a major headache because it broke absolutely all ...
Factory default reset fixed the issue at hand, as well as a number of other old niggling problems such as certificate errors that made browsers freak out every time I tried to view the admin page, and shutdown times of around 5 minutes (something about this device really hasn't aged well over a year or so).
Effective as it is though, it's hard to recommend factory default resets to many people. Backing up 18TB over a gigabit connection is not fun. Still, it's not Netgear's fault that 10Gbe is so crazy expensive.
This all got shoved aside for a while there, and we're now at a point where we need to add hard drives that we couldn't afford when we first set up the NAS boxes. Since we use RAID0 (and I'm led to believe ReadyNAS can't do horizontal expansions with that mode) I'll just wipe everything and start fresh anyway. That should resolve it.
With RAID-0 you'd have to create a new volume when adding new disks to empty slots.
Personally I wouldn't recommend using RAID-0. Backing up the data and doing a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) with all the disks in place is what I would recommend.
Yeah, not to worry. RAID 0 was a very thoroughly researched decision on my part. Both performance and capacity were key due to the video-related nature of the business. The fault tolerance of RAID5/6 just came at way too many costs that were made pointless by having a nightly backup in our particular situation.
It would have been RAID1+0, but SOHO budget was all we had at the time. Still, the business is doing well enough now that the next lot of hardware we upgrade to should be quite fun :)Factory default reset fixed the issue at hand, as well as a number of other old niggling problems such as certificate errors that made browsers freak out every time I tried to view the admin page, and shutdown times of around 5 minutes (something about this device really hasn't aged well over a year or so).

I agree and I restored several TB of data myself last month on two NAS. That was my choice though (upgrading the size of three jbod volumes).
Though it's not fun, it is effective and is something that users can do w/o support's help (which sometimes is a consideration here).
