ReadyNAS Duo has stopped working
Hi, I have a ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 v2 with 2 1TB drives, I tried to access it today and its not on my network map anymore. It was silent with network activity lights flashing and no lights on the front...
I would power down the NAS, connect disk 1 to a windows PC, and see if Linux Reader can see the data volume. http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
It was a while ago when I set it up but I believe I mirrored the drives, will the Linux reader still work on seperate drives too?
If a drive was faulty wouldnt the NAS still boot up? I cant access the interface either.
:(

If you are using XRAID, then you have one data drive and one parity drive. Linux Reader can read the C volume on the data drive. That area on the parity drive isn't in a partition (even though data is stored there), so Linux Reader won't see it.
You should also try powering down, removing drive 1, and seeing if the system boots w/o it. (Leave the other disk in slot 2).

We don't know if the drive is faulty. What we do know is that the OS partition on the drive 1 is corrupted somehow. Perhaps that drive has failed, perhaps not.
OK, with disk 1 out it boots up, so is disk 1 faulty? Why wont it boot up with 1 faulty disk? I tried disk 1 back in again and no lights illuminate on the front, fan stays at full speed.
If I take disk 1 out again it seems to boot like normal, just I cant browse the files. I can play saved videos via my WDTV but I cant browse like a normal drive, is this related to the faulty drive?
