ReadyNAS 426 Negative Channel Numbers Disk Info Log Disks NOT showing
Struggling with a secondhand (new to me) ReadyNAS 426. (FW 6.10.9) Does ANYone have any insight as to WHY does this chassis want to assign/persists in assigning NEGATIVE disk channel numbers? (See ...
Netgear has not publicly released BIOS updates for any OS6 based unit. There definitely were a couple for the 516, but they were only installed by Netgear when assisting with some other issue. The reason I was given that they were not made public is that other changes in the configuration also needed to be changed, and what those changes are depends on where you came from as well as where you are going.
So, an update might exist, but none has ever been announced nor made available. The only way I can think of finding out if one exists would be to have a lot of users check their version and compare. Unfortunately, not likely to happen with enough users contributing to be sure there's not one available if all the reported ones are the same.
Yeah, sadly i think it is unlikely. No idea how many 426 ever went out in to the wide world.
Thank you for your kindness and insights. I appreciate all you offer here... over and over
Still struggling with the RN426.
If/when I power down, even AFTER I have the unit working and showing ALL six disks as expected, it will default back to the negative channels numbers thing (as above) which cause the GUI to NOT show any disks.
It is painful...
Would love ANY ideas you have out there...
Thank you in advance.
