ReadyNAS NV dead

I have this device which stopped working and I've tried an OS reinstall via USB with still no luck.

 

I have no frontview or SSH access.

It has 4 drives configured as X-RAID.  

1 drive seems faulty so it has been pulled.

Tech Support Mode works.  

 

I can telnet but I read somewhere it doesn't do a full boot and x-raid is unavailable.

 

I also read somewhere (that I can't find again!)  that it possible to restart the relevant services (x-raid, web interface and so on) using the Tech Support Mode.

 

I would realy like to just get as much data off the array as possible (no back up :( ) before factory resetting it.

 

Any takers on this old beast?

 

Thanks in advance.

    How did you conclude that drive "seemed to be faulty"?

        On a Sparc system using X-RAID that just means that it is the parity disk.

        To check for a disk being faulty you would do things like:

        # get_ata_errors /dev/hdc
        # get_ata_errors /dev/hde
        # get_ata_errors /dev/hdg
        # get_ata_errors /dev/hdi

        for starters.
