ReadyNAS 314 Having Issues
Hi all, just joined the forum so I apologize if this isn't in the right place. I recently aqqauired a ReadyNAS 314, and i factory rest it and all, was working fine up until today. First i am trying ...
I also have some important data on my NAS that I don’t want being shared to the public, will my data be on the logs?

No, though its possible that file/folder names will be in them.
Also, IP address, and your email address if alerts are configured.
If you do want to send them, it's best to put the full zip into cloud storage (dropbox, google drive, etc), and then send a download link. Send the link via private message (PM) using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
I suggest running the disk test from the settings wheel on the volume (on the volume page). That will take hours to days to complete (depending on the size of the disk drives).
Also, I fixed all the issues (thanks for all your help)!! I have another question now, not sure if I should post another post or reply on this one. Anyways I’d like to upgrade the ram but like to know what precautions I should take (ie do I have to worry about static electricity), and so on. I know that the system can take 4GB of ram, will my unit overheat, or have any issues? I’m a little bit skeptical, as once upon a time (2 years ago) I was talking to a guy how did severs and he explained that adding on to any device would cause overheating. But did not specify a NAS device just in general. I am not adding any more ram slots, am just upgrading it. Should I see a drop in performance? Please let me know, I paid a lot of money for this unit and would hate for it to get damaged. Thanks, in advance.
Going from 2GB to 4GB of RAM is not going to overheat your NAS.
Yes, you should worry about static electricity. How much depends on your environment. If you are where the air is very dry (desert or cold climate), using a ground strap is recommended. Otherwise, just taking precautions in not rubbing anything together or wearing anything that produces a lot of static is typically sufficient for the sensitivity level of PC RAM.
Thanks for your very quick response! My question is what should I do to be extra careful? Do I need to worry about static electricity when opening up the unit before even getting to the RAM? Should I ground myself before even getting to the RAM? What is the most sufficient way to do this? Touching a light switch screws, metal toaster, oven? My house is properly grounded electrical wise. Should I use a cut off cable from an appliance and cut off the power live wires and just leave the bare ground wire connected, while holding onto the ground wire the all time? Thank you for your response, and time for actual y responding.
