Corrupted admin pages -- no admin access
ADMIN WEB PAGES ARE CORRUPTED AND PROVIDE NO ACCESS. The corruption is linked to and moves with the user data. My data shares are there, but I cannot administer my ReadyNAS NV+ v1 because the admi...
I'm certainly pleased and impressed to see help here on a weekend evening!!
Can I use SSH access to get the error logs out? Now they tell me. I promise to record those commands for next time except my Macbook-for-notetaking is dead for the moment (battery).
With corrupted admin pages,
1. I did a 5-sec paperclip reset button move to reload firmware from flash to hard drives.
Wouldn't this kill my SSH add-on? Happy to learn something here.
2. I did a 4th flash Power Button re-load flash image from USB thumb drive. This was followed by a repeat of the paperclip reset to reload flash firmware to hard drives. I know this killed my SSH.
3. I have never done a 10-second paperclip factory default reset.
My understanding is that a factory default reset renders all the data inaccessible.
Happy to get a little smarter here -- will I have to reinitialize the RAID array (8 hours to add one drive . . . ) after a factory default reset??
The error logs have to be in the Linux opsys that moves with the drives, but the drives carry broken admin pages with them, so I can't re-install ssh.
My understanding is that a saved configuration file will restore all added services (ssh, BitTorrent client, . . . ).
Absent admin pages, is there anything to be done with them to restore ssh and retrieve /var/log/frontview/error.log ??
New drives in my old box have valid (working) admin pages. No resets of any kind, just change the drives (new blank ones) and the admin pages change back to "good". I am ignorant of what is on flash (and copied to the hard drives for faster booting), what additionally clears with blank drives, and what additionally clears (esp. in the code, not in the security settings) with a 10-sec paperclip Factory Defaults reset. In a big system, the flash loads more stuff from hard drives/DVD/whatever to fully bring up the system. But in this appliance, I thought **everything** would have to originate from the flash memory. I'm ignorant of (misconceiving) something here . . .
It is late, I must knock off for the night. I understand the last-lines-of-log commands (not that I could have figured them out myself) and I'll save them. Again, wonderful to see help in an instant like this.
