Disaster after updating 6.4.2 to 6.7.4 help
After updating from 6.4.2 to 6.7.4 lost lun (share), that was attached to proxmox with one big VM.
With LUN group is all ok, it exists, but there no LUN in a group, server couldnt connect to 2TB LUN. Could you help? Could I try to get back to 6.4.2? (In 6.7.4 there was writtent not to do this).
Important that in this LUN was one file (VM - 2TB), maybe there is posibility to go back that 2tb file, and it would be ok, ill do one new lun for server
So I connected to storage by SSH and saw that there is LUN share, that I can't delete it (always got error), but there are no files in this folder (no simple files and no configuration files).
I think updating from 6.4.2 to 6.7.4 has really big issues with iSCSI working and failing. In the internet I found some problems very near like me.
I want to thank you for your pleasure to help me on weekend.
But there is strange how you don't saw this luns, because directory with some configuration files is there.
In updating there was no warning that doing this update could do any bad affect to my system or files.
It looks like that there is a LUN, ant it is somhow LOCKED, but new updated system doesnt see it.
From first look to NETGEAR goods in server room few months ago it little bit scared me, because i'm often working with IBM, Lenovo, Dell hardware. But i thought it i'll be ok, try to work with it.
But after this incident sadly but I couldn't recommend this name for any computers specialist, and must to do hardware changes to more responsible hardware and software manufacturers, than NETGEAR.
It's very simple to say that user is responsible for it's data, but this is not simple CD, and updates are not just for fun, but firstly for security. So how oher time I could expect to do updates, hope for better security bug fixes and better storag stability and get my system down for good hopes?

You can't downgrade back to 6.4.2 from 6.7.4.
Do you have access to the web admin interface or is it offline?
Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?Downgrading could brake all NAS or what?
I can access web config, all forks fine (admin page, shares, backups and so on), but there are just iscsi group, there are no lun. Maybe some netgear support could connect and could show this problem?
Maybe with ssh could we somthing do?
Its strange that there no logs, logs empty.
Downgrading a update on any OS doesn't work. Settings and whatnot change, or get updated and a OS wouldn't know what to do but think it's curupted data.
The Simple fact is, you should always have a backup. I've had minor ReadyNAS updates screw up things like programs running that were just fine before. I'm surprised you missed a number of updates before this one.
Looking at my readyNAS and in iscsi, I see new LUN along with Unassigned LUNS. Did you click on the arrow to point down to show those? I havn't even gotten into that area with my NAS. I've really had no need. Hopefully a expert can help you get what you lost, but there's no going back in time with a OS update.
There's no LUN on this system and the last one that was deleted ("VM") was deleted about a year ago now.
Some shares have been deleted recently but that was before the firmware upgrade.
Sounds like you'll need to restore this VM from backup.- But how it could be like that. Į dont understand. Į gatvę a backup but it is not working normaly. You dont see ant lun of 2tb? There was file on vm about 1,9tb, ir was likę 108 cm ir sometging with these counts...
- Maybe there iš some posibility to to back with older firmware...
I tryed to create new lun on existing group and got ant error 21001020001. There is another problem? Maybe this version have any limatations to lun size, so this version dont see existing 2tb lun?
Can you check again it? Thank you..
I couldnt crate any size of lun...
I have configuration backup before update, could it help for you?
