Recovering a serious firmware update failure ReadyNAS 1100
The 4.1.8 (SPARC) firmware update totally killed our ReadyNAS 1100. It said "Writing..." in the RAIDar utility, and after waiting for hours and hours, we decided it wasn't working and shut down the R...
You're very welcome, slunge!
I've just hit the same error with NAND ECC FAIL, having had a day of 'kernel panic' and tried
- OS Reinstall
- System Wipe
- USB re-image
- TFTP image
I think it's broken for good, and since it's out of warranty I don't think I have anything to lose. Data is backed up and moved to a new NAS, I guess I got off the Netgear just in time!
So, thanks for writing up such a detailed set of steps on what to try, I'll give it a shot during the week and see how it goes.
You could have to try a few USB keys before getting one that works.
Other possibilities for causing this problem would include a problem with the RAM.Thanks mdgm
Do you mean I might have to try a few USB keys for the method in this thread to work, or that it is worth re-trying the USB re-imaging with other USB keys? I presume the former, just checking.
In terms of replacing the RAM, I have a NV+ v1 (probably out of warranty!) with 256MB of RAM. Would you happen to know if that RAM module is upgradeable, and any tips on where I might find a replacement, or if I could run a test on the RAM as things stand with no OS?
I may also have a failed disk, plan to test each of them outside of the NAS. No problems with data - it's all moved.
