Corrupt root Ready NAS 1100
Hope someone can help me out and give me some instructions on what to do. When i login to my ready NAS 1100 via the Netgear RAIDar app the screen tell me that i have a corrupt root. Screen shot belo...
What led up to this?
Do you recall which firmware you are running?
USB Boot Recovery is unlikely to be the solution. That is only useful if the firmware on the flash is corrupt.
The problem most likely is a full root volume, a bad disk, or putting in used disks from a PC.
Thanks for your reply.
In the lead up i swopped out one of the disck and it formated correctly. However when i swopped out the next disk i started to get problems.
How do i prepare the disks so they will be accepted by the Ready NAS.
I have the right cables to access the disks i just dont know what format is required.
Once i've formatted the disks, whats the best way to load them?
Look forward ot your reply..
Thanks

The NAS formats the drives on its own. Sometimes it's helpful to zero them (or unformat them). But formatting them yourself isn't useful, and sometimes can create issues.
What disks are you using? Your best options are NAS-purposed drives (for instance WD Red or Seagate VN) or enterprise-class. Your NAS can't handle drives larger than 2 TB.
I have four WD black 2TB drives.
These drives are on the list of suitable drives.
There is no data to worry about so im happy to do what ever it takes.
Should i try doing a factory restore?
