readynas pro 6 is not playing nice.

I upgraded the frimware from 6.7.?? to 6.8.  After firmware I have attempted to back up data.  During transfer, nas has become unresponsive and disappeared from my network.   Anyhow, I rebooted the nas and it came up with :   ERR used disks  (dirty disks).   I reinstalled OS and then it just gets stuck on checking FS. or after a reboot, i return to my dirty disk error.  Please help...:)

  • Your disks are healthy.

    The 4GB OS volume wouldn't mount and I couldn't repair it, so I wiped that. All your settings and logs have been wiped, but your data volume is still there.

    Hello Groffo,

     

    After firmware upgrade the NAS was still fine the problem occured while you are doing a backup job. The concern may require assistance from the engineers and/or higher tier who can remote in to the NAS and fix this from the backend. You should contact support right away and OS re-install should not been done since it will erase important logs. Can the raidar still detect the NAS on the network?

      Hello Groffo,

       

      It does appear that the NAS requires to be on telnet/tech support mode and assistance from our engineers and/or higher tier who can remote in to the NAS and fix this from the backend.
