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...
1. Should reset password to default, but no once enabled SSH is not disabled when you do an OS Re-install.
2. This suggests you may have a full OS partition or other problem with it.
3. A factory default would be 30 seconds on the v1, but before you try that I could have a quick look remotely if you like to see if there is a quick fix.
Let me know your acceptance of http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20932/~/netgear-remote-access-policy, press and hold the POWER button (do NOT press the reset button) only on boot to start the NAS. Every 5 seconds the disk LEDs will flash and a different option will display on the LCD. After about 15 seconds you will see the "Tech Support" option. Release the POWER button at this point. Let me know the 5-digit ID seen on the NAS LCD or in the Info (far right) column in RAIDar.
If the box you moved to never had SSH enabled that could also explain why it doesn't work.
After a factory reset you would Re-Install missing add-ons then restore the config backup. Add-ons may need to be reconfigured.
The flash just has the approx 64MB firmware image on it. It is used early in the boot process (has the initrd and the kernel on it as well as the installation files - you can google kernel and initrd if you want to know more about those and what they do), but the OS itself is installed from the flash onto the 2GB OS partition on the disks. If there is an issue on the OS partition as it is on the disks it will remain when you move with the disks to a different chassis.
