ReadyNAS 628X - KEYEXPIRED & Hash Sum mismatch - Debian jessie
I'm deeply regretting my 628x purchase in 2019 (still under warranty I believe) since Netgear seems to have completely abandoned ReadyNAS product. Debian Jessie is old has also been archived. They r...
Regarding the Debian repos, they have moved the jessie repos to http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/ and there are different keys, see http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debian-archive-keyring/
Presumably, /etc/apt/source.list needs to be updated with the archive repo locations, and archive keyring package installed.
mataglap2 - Good point. I saw that too.
Marc_Vand JeraldM - can you please include a patch or hotfix with the updated keys and sources.list for debian jessie since it's now been moved to archive? And as a special request, make ReadyNAS OS6 including readynasd open source so the community can keep things updated?
Thank you!
I have similar issues. Look forward to an hotfix as well.
While I would love to see ReadyNAS OS open sourced, I fear that too many who have the skills to maintain it have abandoned the ReadyNAS. The number of such folks was always limited, anyway. I think a better solution may be to abandon ReadyNAS OS all together and go with a more generic OS. The big problem, of course, is getting it onto a NAS without a video port. If someone could create a bootable USB system that supports a USB video solution for NAS without a native video port and lets you install it (or any Linux system) on the NAS, that would be wonderful. Doing everything via VNC would be another solution; but I think having a display is best, even if VNC is available as well. The idea here is to do an initial install of FreeNAS or something similar and then being able to simply do normal Linux updates from that point on, not needing anything special to be maintained.
The biggest disadvantage is that one would most likely have to backup data, do the installation, and restore data. A generic Linux OS with such a small OS partition just isn't very workable.
FWIW, all my non-sandbox NAS do have a video port, but I recognize that is a major stumbling block for most. The second being putting something in the flash that will boot a non-Netgear OS. Having it support the ReadyNAS LED display would be wonderful, but easy to live without with a "real" display.
