Data Recovery readyNAS 2304
Hi Guys, we used to use a RN2100 which stopped working after we tried to shut it down. we've never got it running again. The netgear support suggested that we buy a ReadyNAS 2304. So we did and put...

It definately rund RaidiatorThis process should have worked then: https://kb.netgear.com/29957/ReadyNAS-Migrating-disks-from-RAIDiator-4-2-to-ReadyNAS-OS-6-x86
Can you access the admin web ui of the NAS, and post a screenshot of what you see there?
Volume read-only mode is a boot menu for volumes created on OS6, not for data recovery attempts of volumes from a system running RAIDiator.

i started a test disk procedure which lead to nothing but flashing red lights on the disks. Can i exit that procedure or does it lead to data loss?
If i can exit it i can restart the machine and enter the web ui and post screenshotsAborting a disk test wouldn't lead to data loss.
initrd.log shows that the 2100 was last factory reset way back on RAIDiator-x86 4.2.5. I believe that was probably the firmware we shipped the first 2100v1 units with (either that or a firmware or two before it).
I think your old unit was a 2100 v1, so it would have the 32-bit utilities needed for that on the root volume. For the migration procedure to work in my experience the 64-bit utilities used by our legacy x86 models that have 64-bit CPUs are needed.The disks look healthy and the RAID looks fine and there's plenty of free space on the data volume so I suspect that extracting the RAIDiator-x86 root files onto the root volume would resolve this, but it would be impossible to know for sure without having a remote look at the system.
After a few detours we found out that this process did work!
Thanks for the hint!
We're backing up the data right now.
Thanks a lot for the help!How did the backup go?
