Can I factory reset the NAS without loosing data?
I have a ReadyNAS Duo (sparc, V1) with two 2TB drives, with Flex RAID-0 (no backup). I have SSH and apt-get enabled. I won't lie to you, I played with it quite a bit ;) I won't go into too much det...

I am not gonna lie to you - I don't like your answers ;)
I know what you mean, but have you seen a 2TB+ USB flash drive :roll:
Anyway, thanks for the clarifications and suggestions! I did an OS re-install and it fixed some issues. I can try the image re-install - good idea.
Now when I think about it, my main problem right now is that apt-get/dpkg is not working. Does anyone know how/if it can be reset? To clean all the cache and data downloaded so far, and download everything afresh.
I would not try any kind of reset, no matter what it says in the manual, without backing up your data first. The cost of a USB drive is pretty low compared to losing your data.
