After upgrading to 6.7.1 on RN214 no volumes can be loaded

Hello,

 

I just installed the new upgrade 6.7.1 on my RN214 and got the confusing message that my volumes can`t be loaded.
It`s the same problem others have:

 

ReadyNAS 516 just upgraded to 6.7.1 and data volume has not loaded

 

No volume after 6.7.1 upgrade

 

I don`t know what to do.

 

Best regards
Kalle

      Hi jak0lantash,

       

      thanks for your reply.
      I have downloaded the logs and in the dmesg.log bu there were no entries like "md127".

       

      My Netgear has four disks und is running a RAID 5.

      Here a snippet from the volume.log:

      Hi,

       

      I am not an expert with this but I guess sda is down and that's why it can't start.
      Here is the snipped out of the dmesg log.

        You should have further mentions of sda3, and md127 lower than that in dmesg.log.

        If you don't, at the end volume.log, there is a section "=== df -h ===", check the line:

        /dev/md0        4.0G  517M  3.3G  14% /

        Is it 100% full?

        You can also search systemd-journal.log and mdstat.log for mentions of md127.

        How many HDDs do you have in the NAS?

      What do you mean?

      I don't want to argue with you I am only curios.

        I'm not arguing either :smileywink:

         

        There are multiple reasons for the volume to appear "inactive", some of the most common:

        - Full root: the volume dedicated to the system is completely full, preventing it from booting properly. In your case, it could be related to the process of updating the F/W (any F/W). Or some add-on that filled the volume and the consequence appeared after the reboot, as part of the update process.

        - Corrupt system: often due to the previous condition, but also rarely occur without full root.

        - Multiple disk failure: your drives could have been slowly dying but seemlessly "working", or suddenly died, or a mix. Updating a firmware implies writing to the drives which can trigger failure(s). 

        - Erroring disk: a disk can be flapping and cause the NAS to be enable to mount the volume.

        - BTRFS corruption: any operation on the volume, even mount/unmount can lead to filesystem corruption if an unexpected event occur (at FS or HW level). It happens.

        Etc.

         

        It's a shame that the NAS doesn't show why is the volume inactive, in the GUI. It would reasonably easy to integrate it and really useful for anyone running into the issue, hence the post in the "idea" section.

  • Hi,

    yes I did it several months ago. I totaly forget about that. I did it because I do that on my other linux maschines, simple as that. That was not the smartest move. After this dist-upgrade I had big problems with the NAS and I had to do a Firmware reset. Seemingly there are also leftovers from this action. S h i t !
