ReadyNAS 204 Ethernet Ports nor working

Question

Good day,&nbsp;I need some help, I have a ReadyNAS 204 which has been working perfectly since I bought it about a year ago, but after struggling to connect to it I found that none of the lights on either of the LAN ports come on.&nbsp; Is it possible to access the the ReadyNAS directly from a PC without using the LAN connection?&nbsp; Alternatively how do I recover the data currently on the system?&nbsp;Regards,

There is no way other than the ethernet connection to access the data.&nbsp; There are ways to recover the data from the drives using a PC and a Linux LIve CD.&nbsp; But unless you are not the original purchaser, your unit is still under warranty, so why mess with it?

Thank you,&nbsp;I am the original purchaser and will return it, but I urgently need to access the data and can't wait for the replacement or repair to be done.

Are you comfortable with Linux shell commands?

jwilkens · Answer

Good day,&nbsp;Yes I am.

Then if you connect all the drives to a PC, and boot that PC up with a linux Live boot disk, you can access the data.

You'll need to install mdadm and btrfs onto the linux system (if they are not preinstalled).
