Hi Grimleiv,
Which ReadyNAS unit are you using? Firmware? Can you put the disks in your computer via SATA and run the Hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic tool to test each one of them.
Looking forward to your response.
Kind regards,

Both my Netgear went down at same time. ReadyNAS NV + V2 and ReadyNAS DUO, Not shure about firmware, but it's been updated to latest firmware(autoupdate). I know that there is a later firmware that must be updated manually, but since i can't access any of my ReadyNAS via http, i can update it. There is 4 4TB disk running RAID 5
But this is what happend.. After i no longer could access my NV +V2:
1. It said Drive C is dead in disply(power down via on/off switch didn't wor. Tried normal with 2 fast push and to hold in buttom for looong time, no response. So i pulled plug and restarted).
2. When i restartet it said Factory reset in disply!! No factory reset has been done.. Anyway it started and it was reset. Name i made gone etc.
3. I run setup and made a new raid 5, same as before. But then it came up with root corrupt (due date on disks). And pwr buttom did not work anymore..
4. So i pullet pwr plug again, waited a few and restarted again..
5. Now it starts up like normal, name back and disk report in ok. Startet with FC in display(File Check). After a wile it went from FC to Booting.. and nothing is happening(Still says "File system check" in Raidar 4.3.8 and Raidar 6.1 So i'm waiting.
Then the old ReadyNAS DUO, looks ok but cant access http, same msg as NV + V2, "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"
Hope there is a solution to this :) The 2 ReadyNAS is set up with all access enabled. Use them as MEDIA streamer to TV and computers at home.
Can you read this link, and then confirm that you have v2s? The labeling can be confusing, so please do read the link before replying. http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/
I have ReadyNAS NV + V2, Checked pwr plug, hardware outside etc.. ;) I've been working with computers since 1987 and repairing them at work. But not much networking tho. But everytime i had a problem with ReadyNAS that i din't solve fast.. It was a problem that needed support to log in to my ReadyNAS. Here is screenshoot, as you see NV + V2 is saying File system check still, but in disply its now says booting...... Have done so long time. Did say FC 15min ago, but my logic says its still doing FC?
