ReadyNAS RN104 Firmware upgrade tp 6.5.1
Been using the divice on LAN for almost 12 month, and apart from the system occasionally disapearing from the LAN, have not had any issues.
Although unit registered in ReadyCloud, have not tried to utilise this yet.
After upgrading to 6.5.1 the system remained in "Booting" mode according to the display for several hours.
Powercycled the system and it booted, and I could access the system via the admin through the browser.
ReadyCloud shows green ticks for Internet and available, yet reports as offline when attempting to conenct via iPhone.
The system is now re-syncing data, and has been for 3 days, (it is now at 50%) during which time, it is not accessible from any device.
I cannot acess the admin page through the browser anymore, as the system reports being offline, not connected or no power.
Should I powercycle the unit again ?
Try and re-idownload and install the firmware upgrade?

Is the resync progressing, or is it stalled? (e.g., is the percentage rising?).
Do you recall what firmware you were running before?
I was running 6.5.0 before, and the data sync is progressing, it is now at 52.75%

I suggest trying to check the status via RAIDar - one potential cause of a slow sync is a failing disk.
How big are the disks? This doesn't sound normal, and I think the data is at risk. Do you have a backup?
You could potentially pull the plug (and maybe even do a factory reset and restore the data). Alternatively try booting using the "read only mode", which might give you access.
Or just wait, and see what develops.
The disks are 4 * 4TB, and were all reporting healthy and no excessive temperatures . I am using part of the NAS as a secondary backup from Timemachine, and I can see the backup files from a laptop connected to the network, accessing the "NAS 36 27 24" I can also see the sames files accessing (AFP) . When I try to access via (SMB) as Admin I can see more directories, but.cannot see any files inside any of the directories.
What is "sync" actually doing , now ar 52.95%
should I leave it for the rest of the week to finish, or if I power cycle, how do I stop it going into sync.? Can sync (if required) be started automatically? Is it trying to sync to ReadyCloud?
