Readynad duo v2 root danneggiata e disk failure
Buon giorno a tutti , posseggo questo nas da parecchio tempo , circa 2 settimane fà ha smesso di funzionare , emetteva un suono ciclico costante metallico , tipico degli hard disk tralaltro , uno dei 2 led era effetivamente spento , quindi disco 1 non operativo nel mio caso , ho pensato di dovermi procurare un disco sostitutivo e così ho fatto , ho dovuto aspettare il pacco e solo dopo tanto tempo ho potuto provare a sostituirlo , ma non è servito a nulla , il nuovo disco o non viene accettato o forse il nas stesso non riesce a procedere da solo , ho quindi controllato con il "raidar" , restituisce l'errore root danneggiata e se metto il disco suo originale lo dà come non funzionante , se invece metto quello nuovo lo dà come operativo , ma la root rimane sempre danneggiata , non è possibile accedere alla sua interfaccia amministrativo , ovviamente le cartelle non sono accessibili , ma neanche il tasto accensione/spegnimento funziona , o meglio lo posso accendere , ma poi una volta che ha fatto il boot iniziale , verificato lo stato dei dischi , non si può più fare nulla , per togliere/mettere il disco deve sempre staccare la spina.
Il disco che ho comprato è da 4 TB , della WD , tipologia red , ottimizzato per nas , WD40EFRX , ma quasi sicuramente con la sfortuna che ho risulterà incompatibile , il disco simile o uguale è un seagate ST2000DL003 , devo per caso procurarmi un seagate per tentare il recupero o secondo voi ci sono altri problemi o cose da fare? non ho trovato nulla ,nè manuali , non ho neanche trovato qualcosa percercare il disco compatibile (forse questo nas è troppo vecchio?) , ho trovato solo un'indicazione che non doveva superare i 4TB , quello vecchio è da 2TB.
Se c'è qualcuno che mi può aiutare ve ne sarei eternamente grato , ho molti file , cartelle datati importanti , vorrei tanto recuperarli e speravo tanto di non avere problemi grazie a questo disco , ma sembra che alla fine i problemi ci saranno sempre.......
Grazie comunque a tutti , marco di padova.

Nuova installazione Readynas duo v2 con due dischi WD40EFRX | NETGEAR Communities
Ho appena trovato questa discussione , sembra che il disco da me acquistato và bene solo se ho effettivamente la versione 2 , ma se invece all'interno ho il firmware v1 non li accetterebbe , ovviamente non posso verificare perchè il nas è inaccessibile , quindi dovrei comunque provare a procurarmi un nuovo o anche usato seagate da 2TB e tentare con quello il ripristino?
Grazie ancora per ogni qualsiasi aiuto
I mark this discussion as resolved because while waiting for the SATA/USB adapter I tried to install the new disks and the NAS does nothing, it is not possible to access the web interface, I tried to perform the reset, but nothing has changed, so the NAS is dead and I just have to recover the data as you described with Linux, so this discussion is to be considered closed, or resolved, I thank everyone for the time you have dedicated to me, I thank you and I wish you many beautiful things, not only in this world where however you are very good and competent, thanks again for everything, "Ciao", Marco from Padua, Italy.

First, you need to determine if you REALLY have a "V2". Netgear used the "v2" designation for some minor changes and later came out with a product also called a "V2" that's an entirely new NAS but looks similar. If the unit says "V2" on the front and RAIDar identifies it as a "V2". then it is one. Otherwise, it's the original, or V1. This is important because the V1 cannot accept drives larger than 2TB.
If you cannot successfully boot the unit with just the "good" drive, then replacing the other will not help at this point. "Corrupt root" may be because that drive also has a failure, or just may mean the OS was damaged when the other failed. An OS re-install will likely fix it if it's the latter. How you do that depends on whether it's a true V2 or a V1. But before trying that, it's best if you test the "good" drive using a PC and the drive vendor's tools to see that it does not also have a failure. If it does also have a hardware issue, there are methods that may recover your data, so come back for help with that. But for now, let's assume the drive is physically OK.
"Corrupt Root" on a new drive likely means it's already formatted. Doing a factory default with just that drive installed should allow it to go forward. That's a good step to insure the NAS hardware is OK. But be sure to use only the new drive, as a factory default erases all data. When you get to the point that the NAS boots with just the one older drive, then you can add the second with the power on. Then, you'll need to format the drive on the NAS to remove the data put on during the test with just it and the NAS will then add it to the RAID.
As for your replacement Red Plus drive, that's a good choice for your NAS if it's a "real" V2 and can accept a 4TB drive. It uses CMR recording. If yours is actually a V1, make sure you get another Red Plus or Pro or a Seagate Ironwolf 2TB. AFAIK, every desktop drive in that size range will be SMR, as is the WD Red (not RED Plus), so should be avoided.
Intanto grazie mille della risposta molto dettagliata , comunque sembra essere un V2 , secondo te può ancora essere un v2 o v1? , quindi cosa fare? se non ho capito male dovrei togliere la vecchia unità e fare partire il nas solo con la nuova per formattarlo (lo fa da solo?) , poi tolgo la nuova , metto la vecchia e inserisco con nas acceso il disco nuovo? , vorrei ricordare che io non ho la minima possibilità di accedere alla pagina web , oppure ho capito male?
Do you think it could still be a V2 or V1?
The Duo V1
- says ReadyNAS Duo on the front panel
- runs 4.1.x firmware
The Duo v2
- says ReadyNAS Duo v2 on the front panel
- runs 5.3.x firmware.
So, what should I do?
Start by removing the Red Plus, and see if you can boot the system with only the old (working) drive installed. You can leave it in its original slot.
If the system boots ok (showing a degraded volume), then you should immediately make a backup of the data on the NAS.
If the system does NOT boot, then you could try installing R-Linux for Windows on a PC (Freeware), and connect the old working disk to the PC using either SATA or a USB adapter/dock. If R-Linux finds your files, then use it to copy off your data.

I would like to point out that I have no way of accessing the web page,
Were you able to access it before the disk failed???
The Duo V1
says ReadyNAS Duo on the front panel
runs 4.1.x firmware
The Duo v2
says ReadyNAS Duo v2 on the front panel
runs 5.3.x firmware.There is no wording about the firmware on the front panel, do I need to open it and look inside?

https://www.r-studio.com/free-linux-recovery/Download.shtmlno, with only the old disk working it is not possible to access it, I will have to do as you say, download linux, get the bluetooth adapter (I'm missing it) and do as you say
Were you able to access it before the disk failed???
Let's say it worked, but in fact it's been a long time since I used the web interface so I don't know if it worked, but logically it worked until the end, I went away on holiday for 5 days and during this period it broke, so I think it worked, anyway thanks again, I will do as you said and move forward with the various phases, even if the v1-v2 issue remains
