Readynas duo v1 Access Problem because of user rights failure
Hello, I was adjusting some file owner rights on readynas duo with ssh connection.Mistakenly, ı have assigned a predefined user to all files as owner while ı am at the root. That messed the thing...

So ı was thinking to remove all disks from nas device, then making a factory reset, then inserting the disks back? Does it work?
No, it will not. The factory reset formats the disks, and install linux and the ReadyNAS app on them. It cannot be done diskless.

or what is the true way of managing the getting the files? Raidar ticks green for 2 disks and can browse the file directory but cannot access.
Thanks in advance...
Try using R-linux on a Windows
Power down the NAS and connect disk 1 to the PC via either SATA or a USB adapter/dock. If you don't see the files, try again with disk 2 (on a Duo v1, the mirror is formatted a bit differently from the primary disk).
Best to label t
So, when ı remove disks, I should be sure that disks can be read by another software. Does raid mechanism break things?

R-Linux (free) should work, assuming the Duo is using RAID-1/X-RAID or JBOD (two volumes, one on each disk). It only reads the disk, so everything on it remains intact even if you find it isn't working.
If you are using RAID-0 (one volume with no RAID redundancy) then you would need to use R-Studio (which is not free), or a similar product that supports RAID recovery and the EXT file system.
