ReadyNAS Duo v1 resynch hang.
After creating a new share on my RN202 I went on and created a rsync backup job on the Duo.
I saw that snapshots needed to be excluded, so cancelled the backup job.
The Duo advised that I should resynch the disks, so it was started.
It would take a long time so I was not concerned that the Duo was not responding to anything, except I could open the first level menus on the Admin page.
The next day was status quo, including my connection to the Admin page was still active.
However, closing the window and reopen the connection does not show the first level menus.
Status of the Duo is visible in RAIDar-4.3.8. First column led and both disk leds are green;
but the led just after the IP-address is blinking green/yellow and the mouse displays:
Volume C: Raid level X, Resync 0% complete, Time to finish 13 hr 30 min, Speed 40MB/s; 1115 GB (60%) of 1853 GB used
This status has not changed for at least 24 hours.
The disk leds on the Duo seems to be off.
For what it's worth, I have a .ZIP file with logs dated 20230326, taken after I managed to install the fix "Workaround for ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH problem" so SSH might still be installed. Thank you for the step by step instructions.
The Duo is a backup unit, my primary server is OK, and I have an extra disk backup.
Is it advisable to power off and hope the server will be OK after reboot,
or can I do anything else to fix the resync?

According to WD diagnostic tool both disks are fine.
I suppose the next option is Reinstall firmware and/or Reset to factory defaults?
I'd probably just do the factory default.
You could also try just reinserting one disk (in its original slot) and booting up.
- If that works, see if the data is there. If it is, hot-insert the second disk and wait for the resync.
- If not, power down and try the other disk (by itself).
If both fail, just move on to the factory default.

Have you tried logging in with ssh?
