Duo V1 won't boot
Hi folks,
I been using a Duo v1 for quite a few years, but now the Duo never finish (booting?) after an attempt to update the firmware to 4.1.14. I could need a bit of help to get the Duo back online so that I can access the data on it. (I can see it in Radiar; it passes the file system check to 100%, but after days of waiting, the blue power LED just continues to flash; ACT blinks; Disk 1+2 LED are both on; I can only power it down by pulling the power cable - the power button is not responsive)...
Any advice will be highly appreciated.

- Can you log into frontview? Was rootenablessh installed?
- Nope, FrontView does not show up in a browser. rootenablessh may be installed - at least I think I ssh'ed to the Duo some 2-3 years ago (and may firmware revisions ago..) in order to fix some Time Machine issues. I'll try to ssh later today at home, and post and update.
-Michael - Okay, ssh was enabled: I can log in - see below - but I don't know what to do to get the Duo back in normal running condition again. StephenB, any advice from you?

nasbech:~# - What do you see with
df -h .
df -i . - The Duo is now not responding to ssh nor Raidar anymore :(
Power LED (blue) constantly on; ACT LED off; Disk 1 LED flashing quickly (3-4 times pr. second); Disk 2 LED off. FYI, I have 2 x 1 TB disks in the Duo.
According to the manual this may be a disk failure. Should I pull out Disk 1 - or would that be a stupid idea...?
-Michael - Disk 1 has 28596 ATA errors. It is bad.
