Readynas duo v2, unable to add new shares
Hi, I'm posting a new request for assistance after reading the log. The hardware is all new and I have fitted 2 off Western Digital WD 20EARX 00 PASBO 2 X 2TB hdd's The firmware is 5.3.4 with a 4.3....
yep - exactly the same issue on my unit.
edit : (just logged a ticket for my issue as my unit is under support)
viewtopic.php?f=148&t=63027
tried on a supported disk on HCL(then on an old samsung which used to be on the older unit hcl's), erased, wiped, factory reset several times, different combinations - wiped disks within windows, formatted then deleted the partition before putting into the readynas duo v2;
tried downgrading firmware but that was simply more trouble than it's worth as the randomness of the results within the interface is staggering!
tried on the current beta; 5.3.5-T19
unsure if it's a beta problem, or the unit really has no idea how to format and use the disk?
same sympton, volume tab nothing, cannot add new shares, when transfering files to the inbuilt 'shares' cannot write more than 4gb....so, why cannot it not see the data partition?
it's been a long day, totally wasted.
errors when you try to add new share, stating illegal chars etc.
