NV+ frontview corrupted
Hi,
Having a problem with NV+. Having not turned it on for some time. Today I turned it on, it did have a static ip, but today it's come up with 192.168.168.168. Also, it now has the default password...
It sounds like the OS partition might be damaged. If you need the files on the NAS, you should back them up before proceeding.
Telnet connections are only accepted if the system was booted in tech support mode. Otherwise it will refuse telnet connections. You need to use ssh (for instance, putty in a Windows system). You'd log in as root, using the NAS admin password. (This assumes that ssh was enabled on the NAS).
Though if you have a backup of the data, the simplest thing to do is a factory reset, rebuild the NAS and restore the data from the backup.
- I'll give tech mode a bash, remind me please how to get there?
It's all backed up so no problem there.See pages 23-24 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RND2110/Duov1_NV+v1_HW_en_06Dec11.pdf
The username is root, the password is infr8ntdebug
To mount the operating system (assuming xraid) you
# start_raid.sh
# mount /dev/hdc1 /sysroot
# mount --bind /proc /sysroot/proc
# mount --bind /dev /sysroot/dev
# mount --bind /dev/pts /sysroot/dev/pts
# chroot /sysroot /bin/bashIf you need to mount the data volume (read-only) :
# vgscan # vgchange -a y
# mount -o ro /dev/c/c /c- I think I've found part of the problem. Back in April 2017, I had the same thing happen. mdgm very kindly found a large ReadyDLNA database and MySQL database. He moved these to the data volume, and changed the configuration to store these on the data volume.

I found the ReadyDLNA log at 1.9GB in "/var/cache/minidlna/" and deleted it. The box is just a backup target to my main box. In future I would like to disable this if that is possible, as I don't use it. Or have written instruction on how to make the changes myself for future reference. I'm comfortable using the command line having had some exposure to Unix in my very deep past!
Deleting that 1.9GB file hasn't got frontview back. But at least it has requested an ip address.
ssh doesn't seem to be enabled. So at some point I must have reinstalled the software!
Anyway, it seems that a factory reset may be in order, but that will leave me with the those databases getting large again when I turn the box on every few months or so. I've written some notes on how I got this far, I just need the next steps. So could someone fill me in on those, please.
Any other thoughts?
