READYNAS 214 configurazione non più modificabile
Buongiorno Da qualche settimana il mio READYNAS 214 ( firmware 6.10.10) risulta 'read-only' su ogni cartella, risulta impossibile cercare firmware di upgrade, e impossibile modificare le varie confi...

The NAS does this in an attempt to preserve your data. Be careful not to reboot the NAS, as that could lead to loss.
The first step is to ensure you have a backup of the files. When that is done, download the full log zip file from the admin web ui. There should be some clues in there about what is wrong. If you need help analyzing those logs, you can upload the zip into cloud storage and send me a link via PM (private message). You send a PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page. Make sure the link permissions are set so anyone with the link can download.
Everyone is seeing the update server error - 6.10.10 is the most recent firmware, so it is not a major concern.
Thank You Stephen. In fact, the problem is that that NAS is the backup system for many PCs in my lab, so that making a backup copy of 11Tb is now impossible to me. I supposed that the small empty space in the (RAID5) NAS was a matter. But, in order to make some space on the NAS, I would delete something, but I cannot delete anything as all files are now 'read-only'. Anything I could attempt safely without making a complete file-backup?
cheers

That could be related. I am puzzled by the 10% (1.2 TB) figure, since the volume is 36 TB, so the percentage would actually be 3%.

You could download the log zip, and see if you can sort out the cause. Then we'd have a better idea of the options.
You are right, the small empty space was quite odd! I checked the disk configuration and found that only two 12Tb volumes are actually in RAID5, the other two (12 Tb each) are marked as RAID1 (see picture). Before the upgrade with 12Tb HDs I had under raid5 all the 4Tb HDs. I'm just an 'user 'of the NAS, not an expert at all... Could I convert to raid5 the entire volume set without losing data? Any help is welcome!
cheers

I'd need to examine the full log zip in order to sort out what is going on. If you want me to examine it, copy the zip into cloud storage and send me a private message (PM) with a link. Make sure the link permissions are set so anyone with the link can download. You can send a PM using the envelope link in the upper right of the forum.
There is some privacy leakage, so don't post the logs publicly.
I think the first priority is to deal with the inactive volume problem.
As far as converting to RAID-5, that might be possible, but would have high risk. The safer path is to back up the files to other storage, do a factory default, and then restore the NAS from the backup. While this likely does require purchasing a lot of storage, you really should back up the data you don't want to lose. RAID is not enough to keep data safe.
