No access to shares nor to admin page

Halo guys. Have a big problem.

My NAS is Readynas Pro 6, running 6.10.0-T185

All of the sudden I lost possibility to open shares, admin page and even transmission page.

Ping is working fine. IP is hardcoded in NAS and in router. I was trying OS reinstall twice, but no joy.

RAIDar can find the device, showing correct MAC and IP addresses, serial number etc.

But it also says Volume data, raid5, inactive...

Diagnostic option shows something like this:

System

  • Volume data is inactive

Logs

  • 2018-12-16 02:18:35: general protection fault: 0000 [#14] SMP

I also downloaded zip file with all logs, but cant find anything usefull there.

Reboot, performed from RAIDar interface works, but changes nothing.... still no access to my stuff nor to admin page.

What can I do to make it working again ?

It was working fine, then I turned it off for a day or two... After power up, here we go - no access...

Would appreciate any advice :)

Thank you

Stan

  • May PM OOM-9 and see if Netgear development wants to take a look.

     

    Do you have a backup of the data?

      Hi, Thanks forreply :)

       

      Well....this was supossed to be a backup...

      I do not mind movies, music and stuff, but I just was replacing my workstation which I use to do my job stuff, so I have moved about 2 Tb of important data to the NAS, checked for consistency and destroyed the source...Well... it turns out now I have a problem...:(

      Since it is responding to ping, and I can ssh as root to it, I was thinking... Maybe it is possible to reasamble raid using LVM or mdadm ? It is inactive, not destroyed or degraded after all... Problem is I do not know Netgear specific changes done to regular Linux...

        A "backup" by definition is not primary storage.  So if it is a backup, then all the data you care about is also saved elsewhere.

         

        RAID alone is not enough to keep your data safe, and in your case Netgear support is not available to you since you are running OS-6 on a legacy NAS. 

         

        On top of that you are running beta firmware.  However, that could work in your favor, as Netgear might want to analyze what happened.

        The SMP error generally is a memory-related issue (for instance de-referencing a null pointer).  So you might want to check the memory seating and run the boot-menu memory diagnostic.  Another test would be to remove all the drives (labeling by slot), and doing a factory install to a test disk (that you don't mind reformatting).  That would give you reasonable confirmation that the chassis is working normally.

         

        OS-6 does use mdadm, but this is a btrfs error.  That sugggests that the RAID array is assembled correctly, but there is file system corruption. Note the OS partition itself is also formatted as btrfs.  You could try booting the system into tech support mode.  From there, you can enter the commands below to mount the data volume as read-only.  Note this assumes a healthy array, so you likely will get an error somewhere along the way.

        # start_raids

        # rnutil chroot

        # btrfs device scan
        # btrfs fi show
        # mount -o -ro /dev/md127 /data
