What is ReadyNAS 214 doing when backup button LED is flashing?
Hi guys This doesn't appear to be covered in the user manual. But apologies in advance if it's there and I'm missing it. Today my ReadyNAS214 wasn't presenting an admin page and was showing offli...
Hi @strykeroz
Usually the backup LED blinks if there's a job running. Do you have any job that you have assigned when the backup button is pushed? Did you notice if you have pushed the button after the reboot? It is also possible that the backup ran before this happened did not complete properly.
We need to check the full logs can you send it through PM? Also, what does the LCD show?
Kindly try pushing the power button 1 time during boot time when the progress bar show up and let me know of the status it showed.
Regards
Thanks for progressing this Marc
I don't have any jobs assigned to the button, and I have not touched the device prior to finding it unresponsive (on booting my PC it showed as offline so that's why I had a look).
There was nothing showing on the LCD at the time, and pressing the power button didn't change this so I cycled the power by removing the plug.
I should add since this happened and I posted, the RN214 is once again functioning fine. It's not the first time it's done this however.
I'll send you the log later tonight.
Cheers, Geoff
