Can't boot ReadyNAS 316 after upgrading to 6.4.0 firmware
Apparently this is a widespread problem so I wanted to share my experience. 1) I upgraded to 6.4.0 firmware from the admin page. 2) The unit was permanently stuck on "Booting ..." as reported by...
Eric from Level 3 tech support was able to remote in and fix the problem, which has something to do with a large amount of snapshot data on the box. He deleted the snapshots and the unit works just fine now.
Going forward, he recommended doing a defrag and balance once a week. I'm also going to reduce the frequency of snapshots on the box, just to be safe.
Bottom line, the whole thing was a big inconvenience, but at least I didn't have to do a factory reset.
Hi gerster,
Moving your disks to a new 316 would not resolve the problem. The OS, config, data volume etc. are all on the disks.
