Can not access RN214 admin page anymore
Hi all, For a week now I am not able to access my admin page anymore. I am also not able to connect to the nas from my Mac. I can however get to the data through Readycloud, although performance...
Adition to this case after a good night sleep :-)
Although I could recover from a config backup and a data volume backup, I would still like a lazy solution :-)
I tried to boot the system with a read-only option to see if I would be able to access the admin page. No luck..
Then I though about shutting the system down and removed disk1 (that looked the worst in de diagnose)
Booting with one disk removed went quickly and I can now access the admin page again.
Of course the system is now in degraded state and unprotected, but I am fairly confident that I can now add a new disk and the system will rebuild itself.
If all fails, I can still go through a total restore option if needed.
So; I will update this item when I finish but for now I will 'close' this item.
Thanks for your support; that was the trigger to set me of in this direction :-)

PS. I will renew disk4 also!
Thought so too....
Disk 2 and 3 were replaced last year and it looks like 1 and 4 are done now too.
There were no diskerrors in the log for the last couple of weeks, but I did create a second TimeMachine instance and that pushed the system from 60% to 70% usage.
That may have worstened the proces.
All 4 disks are the Seagate ST3000 NAS and they seem prone to failure.
I have backups, but it would be nice if I can replace one disk at a time and let the system rebuild.
Or do you think that is not feasable anymore?

If disk 4 generates disk errors during the rebuild, then the volume will be lost.
One risk is that if this succeeds there could be file system corruption due to bad sectors. That could result in lost files or files with bad data. If you have a full backup, then doing a reset with both disks replaced might be a better (though more time consuming) option.
That is a very good point!
I will follow your advice and rebuild the system from scratch after replacing the disks.
