Can no longer get to web interface after firmware update 6.5.2
Hi all, I’ve owned a ReadyNAS 102 since 2015 but not used it for quite some time. This week I’ve powered it back on and it was using firmware version 6.2.4 (I think). I backed up the data to an exte...
"Corrupt Root" normally just means that the system can't boot from the OS partition on the disks. It's unusual to see that error with the disks removed.
Try connecting the disk to a PC, and either zero it with vendor tooks (seagate or lifeguard), or remove the partitions with (windows disk manager will do this if you are running windows). Then reinsert the disk (with the NAS powered down), and then turn it on. The NAS should do a fresh factory install.

Thanks StephenB,
Sorry to expand when the disks were out RAIDar status mentioned "no disks" not the "corrupt root" error. Sayinig that I still can't get to the web interface and only port 23 is open.
I'll check the disks out in the next few hours and clean them up. Thanks for the advise.

The OS is installed on the disks (and the system normally boots from the disks). So this is normal.
Just thought I'd update. The two disks in the NAS were WD so went through the disk clean up process as recommended. Even with virgin disks this gave me the same result.
So I then started to split the disks up and managed to get it to perform an OS install with just one disk to get it up and running. Added the second disk and after it sync up seemed to work ok. I then had a prompt for another firmware 6.10 but this would not install via the GUI or manual process. Had to update via the USB mem stick method.
I'm going to run it over the weekend without putting all my data on it to make sure its all working before I trust it but I think I'm out of the issue now so thanks for your help StephenB.
The other strange thing which is why I want to test is after all these factory resets and OS installs I could still see my old accounts on the device including accounts for services no longer installed on it. Is this normal after trying to fully reset a device things like this should still show up?
Inability to do an OS update via the GUI tells me you are not out of the woods, though I don't have any ideas as to the nature of the problem.
Assuming you are at 6.10.3, going backwards to 6.10.2 as a test via manual update in the GUI is safe. I suggest giving that a try and if it works, then try going back to 6.10.3. If either of those fail, there may be clues in the logs. If it works, then it looks like the latest update did cure all ills.
