Failing ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus
I noticed one morning my NAS had powered down and couldn't turn it back on. After turning the power off to it completely and waiting a couple of minutes, it turned back on. Strangely it then turns of...
I converted the firmware to OS6. I'm intrigued by the WSL option. How do I get the HDDs to show up?
So far I've modified a PC PSU and it looks like the NAS is staying on (without the HDDs installed). I'll leave it overnight to check it's still on and then will power down and put the HDDs back in. I don't need to do anything special here? Just put them back in and it'll recognise the drives? I've numbered them as per the slots they were taken out from.
I converted the firmware to OS6.
Ok. Then you could use a Pro-6 chassis, but you would need to convert it to OS-6 before migrating the drives.
Or get any OS-6 NAS with enough bays (x86 chassis would be best, but an arm chassis should also work)

You first need to make sure btrfs and mdadm are installed
There is a guide here that works:
- ls //https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-mount-disk
After this step you need to assemble the RAID groups with mdadm, and then mount the volume to a convenient mount point.
