RN3138: cannot change IP/DNS setting
Hi, Ok so we changed our DNS servers at our business so now I have to change them in the ReadyNAS. Obviously I log into the UI, go to the network tab, select the settings from the gear of the bon...

An OS reinstall will
- set the network stack to use DHCP, MTU of 1500, with no bonding
- set the admin password to password
- turn off volume quota (which is on the volume settings wheel).
Instructions are on pages 44-46 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RN2120/ReadyNAS_OS6_Rackmount_HWM_EN.pdf
Hi Casgrain,
Welcome to the Community!
You can try first downloading the NAS system logs and then check the volume.log to see if the OS partition is full.
If it is not full, you can try doing an OS reinstall and see if it fixes the issue. You may check this article for the steps on how to access the boot menu and select the OS reinstall option.
Regards,
I deleted the bonding in hopes recreating it would fix the issue but now I have no connectivity to the machine... RAIDar shows the same IP as before but no way to reach the UI or even ping it...
The sotrage isn't full I'm sure of that. I'll try your OS reinstall method and let you know.
If I have to factory reset the device you can be sure we'll never buy a netgear product again

The OS partition isn't part of the data volume. So it can be full even if there is plenty of space in the data volume.
You might try downloading the log zip file before you do the OS reinstall. If that works, then look at volume.log. Scroll down to the section that looks like
=== df -h === Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 10M 4.0K 10M 1% /dev /dev/md0 4.0G 672M 3.0G 19% / tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm
.../dev/md0 is the OS partition, and it normally is ~20-25% full.
I lost network connectivity as a whole now so I can't try this.
Did the OS reinstall but still no connectivity... either that doesn't reset the network stack or I did something wrong
I'll try again tomorrow.
