ReadyNAS 104 - Update from 6.9.5 to 6.10.0 problems.

Hi. In my RNS 104 I had installed the firmware 6.9.5 patch 1 release and I downloaded and installed version 6.10.0. But at the time of the reboot after the upgrade the boot reaches 99% and then...

Hi sergio_fucchi

Thanks for sending over the logs.

Your NAS actually did update to 6.10 - at least partially. As we can see in the logs, the firmware seems to have been loaded correctly.

ReadyNASOS!!version=6.10.0,time=1553233753,arch=arm,descr=ReadyNASOS

[2019/04/21 17:10:01 UTC] Updated from ReadyNASOS 6.9.5 (ReadyNASOS) to 6.10.0 (ReadyNASOS).

However, I can understand that the NAS behaves strangely afterwards - not completing boot, etc. I suspect that this is down to the OS being full. You need to address this asap. StephenB has written a good guide in another thread on how to deal with this. He can probably link that to you? :)

[19/04/21 08:00:27 CEST] crit:volume:LOGMSG_SYSTEM_USAGE_WARN System volume root's usage is 94%. This condition should not occur under normal conditions. Contact technical support.

Your OS raid also looks a bit strange now. It looks like it tried to expand for some reason... This does not harm functionality as it is a raid1 but you could reach out to Netgear to get this sorted. I just requires a shrink of the md0 raid volume. Not a big deal.

md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdd1[9] sdc1[2] sdb1[8]
      4190208 blocks super 1.2 [8/4] [UUUU____] <<<=== md0 expects 8 disks in a 4 bay chassis... :)

You data raid, disk health and data volume are fine otherwise. Lastly, you need to look at your network setup. I suspect that this might also play some role in the issue that you have. You NICs keep flapping because of the LAG setup.

It seems like you have incorrect LAG setup on the switch side. What switch model are you using? What LAG type are you using on the NAS (LACP I asusme)?

The most recent one was targeted at the run-away antivirus issue that was affecting RN100 series. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/System-volume-root-s-usage-is-90-RN102/m-p/1723405#M178497

I suspect you can't get into the ReadyNAS with normal ssh though (since it isn't fully booting). If that's the case (and you want to fix this yourself) then let us know.

Though since something else is odd with the OS partition, you might want to use paid netgear support for this (via my.netgear.com).

For now you can just disconnect one of the ethernet cables. Generally speaking, there's not much point to running link aggregation/bonding with an RN104 - it's not fast enough to keep up with a single gigabit connection.
