ReadyNAS Duo v2 - IP available but won't connect
Hi, I wonder if somebody would know how I can reaccess my readynas duo v2 again, all of the sudden I seem unable to connect to it. RAIDar shows that he status us "Healthy" with the one drive connect...
Unfortunately it's the only disk. Nevertheless, I decided to cancel the R-Linux scan which still brought up a red "Rocognized0" volume. I right clicked on this to select "open drive files", and voila! I can view the files in the existing folder structure and recover only those I want to keep. I'll probably bin this one buy a more recent NAS which will hopefully be a tad more reliable.
Thanks for your help though, it is very much appreciated.

With R-Linux, is it just a case of scanning the partition and going from there, is there no way to view the folder structure without scanning? Will I need a drive the same size as the partition to dump it to, or will it allow me to choose only the files I want to save?
I've never needed the software myself, but I believe you can choose the files you want to save.

I suggest trying the other disk.

Yes, harddiskVolume17 is the data volume. 15 is the OS partition, 16 is (I think) swap. Temporary, in any event.

It is an old NAS (became end-of-life in 2013).
But it looks to me like the issue here is actually the disk. In any event, the only way to protect against data loss is to back up the data to another device (RAID protection isn't enough, and of course you weren't using it anyway).
Tried factory reset and now I get bad disk detected (see screenshot), is there any way to use this drive, or is it a write-off?
For info, I'd replaced the disk with another showing as "healthy" and all appears to be working as it should. The issue's I had seem to be the result of the WD Red drive failing as you thought.
