DLNA Service not showing in Frontview
I have a Readynas Ultra 2 than has worked perfectly for 2+ years. Last week, the DLNA Service stopped (I noticed first when I could no longer play music on various DLNA clients). So logged on to che...

I am having a similar problem.
I have an ReadyNAS Ultra 6 with 6 disks--4-3TB drives and 2-2TB drives. Running the latest Frontview 4.2.25.
I had a disk go bad (a 2TB drive) and now that it's been replaced (with a 3TB drive), things are screwy with the admin interface. Under Streaming Services tab, everything is gone except iTunes Streaming Server. Any attempts to enable that, result in nothing happening--after clicking Apply, the spinner goes away, the page refreshes, and the option is unchecked. Under the Discovery Services tab, I see only Bonjour and UPnP services, but any attempts to enable either one of them result in the same issue--after clicking Apply, the spinner shows up briefly and disappears, the page refreshes, and the option is unchecked. There is no failure messages or anything. I can still browse the shares without any trouble from a windows machine on the network, etc., but the NAS is no longer discoverable to a Tivo or XBOX system.
I tried installing the ReadyDLNA add-on from here http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=27946 -- and it installed successfully, but I can't find it anywhere.
What logs can I look at to determine what is happening? Would an OS-reinstall repair any of this? It's as if the disk failing really screwed up the OS/app install/config... maybe?
As an aside, it's also failing to expand it's volume since the replacement drive is 1TB larger than the drive that failed. I have no idea why, but every time it boots up, it resumes expansion and then immediately fails. One of the more recent log entries in the expansion.log is:
Does this mean my RAID is too full to expand itself? The volume is 6626 GB (59%) of 10 TB used in an RAID Level X-RAID2, 6 disks configuration. I will post this over in the expansion area, but I thought all these details might be relevant together, too.
Anyone have any ideas? My ReadyNAS is out of warranty by < 3 months and it's $380 for a 1 year contract to help me further.
Thank you in advance for any help!

UPDATE: I just saw this update http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=27946 and so I installed it. I checked the TIVO just now and it can see the NAS. I am not sure if it could see it before I installed the most recent ReadyDLNA update, but the Frontview is still not showing any of the DLNA configuration and nor can I enable UPnP, etc.
