ReadyNAS Duo V1, unable to access Frontview following upgrade to 4.1.15
I have just upgraded to 4.1.15 (having been promted from the NAS box) and now Frontview is not available. I have tried an OS intall from the boot menu but no change, I assume it just reinstalls 4...

Do you have port forwarding setup? If so, someone might be trying to hack into your NAS.
You could do e.g.
# mkdir /tmp/tmp1235# cd /tmp/tmp1235
Copy the PHP add-on to that directory and extract the contents of it e.g. if it is called PHP.bin you could do
# dd if=PHP.bin skip=1 | tar -xv
# sh install.sh
Hopefully you are then able to access Frontview again. If not check what error you get. You may need to install other add-ons over the top of themselves or perhaps install a newer version of the PHP Sparc add-on if there is a newer version available.

If ssh is enabled, then it does makes sense to try it. You'd use putty from a windows PC (or terminal on a mac). Username is "root", the password is the NAS admin password. If the OS reinstall was successful, the NAS admin password has been reset to netgear1
If you do get in, then please enter
df . -h
df . -i
and post the results here. One cause of this problem is a filling OS partition, and this information would help us diagnose if that is your issue (or not).
If you'd rather not mess around with this: Assuming you are the original purchaser, you can use my.netgear.com to get paid support. Ask about "per-incident" support.

Neither of your systems seem dangerously full to me, but you are using more OS partition space then my Duo

IceniTribe, if you have a USB disk formated as NTFS is it possible to copy the data on the data volume to the USB disk with ssh. You'd need to be careful on the copy commands though. Copying that way will be slow, the duo's not very fast when writing to USB drives. Whether pressing backup will work depends in part on how that button was configured, but also the action is taken by the ReadyNAS firmware that isn't starting up. It's fastest to connect the drive to a PC, and copy over a wired network connection.
On option is to contact Netgear support (ask about "per incident" support). They would charge, but likely you would avoid a factory reset.

You could try e.g.
# tail -n 20 /var/log/frontview/error.log
If the http/s service is not running this may explain why. If you had e.g. the PHP add-on installed then you may have to install that over the top of itself via SSH to get Frontview back.- IceniTribeSep 30, 2016Aspirant
Hi mdgm,
Output from tail command
