ReadyNAS NV+ v2 - Cant access shares, failed f/w update etc

Haven't been using my NAS for a long time but that said, lots of photos and movies are stored on it. 

I booted it and it came up, noticed ths SSL issue with the browser but I got Opera and could get into the webUI. 

 

 

I noticed that it complained about disk 3 being faulty so I changed that and it synced fined (saying syncing and doing it in 60min or so). Once it was ready and online I tried to access the shares /c/ALLT (/c/music, /c/foto, /c/video etc)  

 

 

But I couldn't really get into the shares regardless of which one I tried or user used. Using NFS I tried showmount -e "ipaddress" and could see the available nfs shares. I could mount shares but as soon as I tried listing anything in there I got an i/o error. Also, I didn't seem to be able to change the password of any user as I got an error message (didnt capture that 😞

 

Anyways, I also saw that I was running Radiator firmwar of 5.3.10 and did an upgrade to 5.3.13 which didn't seem to be completely successful 😞 I had to powercycle the system after 24h as it just said "Rebooting the system ... installing addons". System came back up but now the volume LED in the Hardware section stays black ? I started the appliance in debug mode but I am not really sure what to do in there ...

 

Any tips on what to do to be able to make sure Volume/shares are running and a fully working system ?

    Have you tried SMB?  Or only NFS?

     

    Have you downloaded the full log zip file, and looked in there for errors?

      I have tried them all smb, ftp, nfs, http (webdav) but nothing let me see the files 

      Yes I have a download here, looking through it but not really sure what to look for 😉

        Seems that if I try to connect using smb v1.0 with the wrong passwd I am getting "Permission denied" and if I use the right password I am getting "mount error(6): No such device or address" so that I would assume points to a volu,e issues as I also don't see the volume turn green 

         

        In the logs I am seeing indications of no physical volumes were found by pvscan and vgscan also reports that no volume groups found. Plus that /etc/resolv.conf has been deleted, shouldn't that be there ?

         

        How can I check / try to do this manually (pvscan/vgscan) and ev recreste a resolv.con - debug mode ?
