ReadyNAS Ultra 2, OS 6, Dead volume
Hello
I have an old ReadyNAS Ultra 2, running OS 6.
I was trying to set up MySql on it when the frontend suddenly failed and I had to do a har reboot. When it booted back up the volume was missing/dead.
Any ideas on what I should look for in the log files, or maybe paste here on the forum? (tried to upload the logs here, but zip not allowed). I looked thorugh most of them, but can't find any hints to what caused the crash. My "complimentary support period" ended in 2012, and I'm running an unsupported OS, so no hope of getting help from netgear I guess...
Due to a recent change in raid level I had no real data on there, but it would be nice to know what caused the crash.
Thankfully for any input.
Your System root volume is at 100%. The services failed to start and getting your volume md127 to stop. I don't think there are issues with the disks (smart_history and diskinfo)
If you are comfortable with SSH you will be able to remove the files or data that consumed the System volume and restart the RAID. Contacting Support is not an option but the Community might be able to help.
If you have full backup of data, Factory reset is another option.
Hope this helps!
Regards

Yeah, I've started a factory reset now.
Thank you so much for havig a look Marc_V , good to know that the discs are probably ok.
I am comfortable with SSH, but I have very little clue as to what I'm doing.
I've been transferring some large database dumps from another machine and I guess, if I understood your answer, it ended up in the root volume filling it up, instead of in the 1TB of free data space... I'm having a hard time understanding the file structure I think, where should I have transferred the files to, assuming default shares?
Did you add MySql via a NetGear app (which should not have put it on the root partition) or via SSH (which would have)? Likewise, what about the apps that are utilizing the databases?
