RN31200/RND2000
Hi all, I have been using a RND/2C for the last 8 years with two drives in it. We had a thunderstorm the other night and the ReadyNAS has stopped turning on. I have pulled the drives out and I ca...

We need to get the models right. The RN31200 is very different from the RND2000 models. Plus the labeling on the RND2000s wasn't well thought out, and many people with the original Duo mistakenly think they have the v2.
What does it say on the front panel?
- ReadyNAS Duo
- ReadyNAS Duo v2
- Netgear and ReadyNAS
- Just Netgear
Does the ReadyNAS have an LCD panel?
An RND-2C is an RN312, aka ReadyNAS 312. An RND2000 (aka Duo, any version) cannot be used to recover files from your volume. I don't know why Netgear includes those RND-XX "model numbers" on the label, as they have never been used by Netgear or here in the forum.
Have you tried a replacement power supply? If the Duo came with one, you can use it with the 312. Alternately, see if the 2000 powers up with the 312's supply. Replacement supplies are cheap.
You will need a ReadyNAS that runs OS6 with any number of drive bays to mount your volume. That can be a native OS6 unit (any model, though a 312 or better is best if you plan to keep using it) or a legacy Ultra or Pro model that has been converted to OS6. Then you will also have to hope the volume wasn't damaged when the NAS went down (if it was running at the time).
The volume is an MDADM RAID with a BTRFS file system on top of that. R-Linux cannot access that, but a properly configured full Linux system can. ReclaiMe can as well, but it's not cheap.
