Frontview Readynas Ultra2 doesn't apply settings
Yesterday my Readynas Ultra2 with firmware 4.2.22 fan was spinning like hell so I got in to it with raidar to open frontview, all went well.
The spinning of the fan was gone at that time so I tried to reboot it via frontview but it didn't react so I manually shut it down and after a while I started it again.
Raidar finds it, everything in green, open frontview but now CIFS and UPnP was deactivated. Shares are still there but no services to get to them.
When i activate the services and apply them the tickbox is empty again. Acctually nothing wat I change and apply is working, frontview doesn't send the new config to the nas.
In the Status screen everything shows up ok (green)
I did a OS reinstall but only the password is changed to default again and new configs are still not send to the Nas
Anyone an idea?
Thx Tom

- Clear the browser cache, and/or try a different browser.
- Tried different browsers, even different PC's. Everywhere the same.
- Probably a full OS partition.
- Is there a way to check it without SSH installed (no add ons installed at all)
Another thing, the only service that is still enabled is Https, but when I checked the https setting from a share and try to change it to read\write it jumped to read only and then the browser went to the startscreen.
So I went back to the shares and then they where all gone?? - What web browser and version are you using?
- IE 10 , FF 22.0
- The 4GB OS partition was full. It filled up with some USB_HDD_1 folders which have been moved onto the data volume. Presumably a backup job to the USB hard drive was run. The NAS thought it was connected but it wasn't and so the OS partition filled up.
The /etc/default/services file was blank so that needed to be replaced. /etc/frontview/samba/Shares.conf was blank but that should be rebuilt automatically (though with default settings for the shares).
Initiated an OS Re-install.
I noticed that you are using a single RAID-0 volume utilising both disks. This is quite risky. If either disk fails, all data is lost. If you store important data primarily on the ReadyNAS it is even more important than normal that you make sure that it is backed up.
Once you have a good backup, update to 4.2.24. 4.2.23 added Frontview compatibility with IE10 - @mdgm
Thanks for the help everything looks normal again. Shares where rebuild and I can acces them.
Great support I really appreciate it.
Edit:
In case someone had the same problem I'll put in the backup error logs (BackupMap is the Map that should have been backuped)
cp: cannot create regular file '/USB_HDD_1/./Thumbs.db': Input/output error
cp: cannot create directory '/USB_HDD_1/./BackupMap': Input/output error
cp: preserving times for '/USB_HDD_1/.': Input/output error
