how long does it take to OS reinstall ?
hello, I began an OS reinstal 7 hours ago and the NAS still showing a "booting... updating FW" message. What's the next step ? thank's for your help. grish4
Updated the firmware to 6.7.1 Beta 2 and was able to mount the data volume with the option to disable volume quotas fine.
Rebooted it to normal mode and it came up fine.
Oh and for good measure I updated the BIOS to the latest.
Hi,
booting stop on 31%.
That's why I tried to reinstal the OS.
Can it be useful to tempt this two or three times ? there's nothing on it that I can't loss, but I wan't try all procedure existing before the factory reboot.
Is USB key restart the next candidate ? does that erase data ?
is it useful to try a boot with no disk ?
thanks
USB Boot Recovery is to rewrite the flash, I doubt it would help in this case.
Booting without disk is pointless as the system and settings are on the disks.
31% seems early stage though. Anything happened before this condition?
Maybe you should contact NETGEAR Support... Especially if you don't want to take any risk with your data.
ok.
I have saved the configuration but the system must be up to be restored.
with a lot of OS you can boot on an external device and access repair tools, i'm surprised it is not the same with the readynas OS.
I try a disk test. Disk are in raid 6 in flex mode.
does the disk test have a repair function ?
How is it possble to have 6 disk, six replication possibily of the OS and not one in goof shape ?
i snapshot the system, is there a way to come back to the previous image ?
I use two things : the amazon sync and the DLNA. I've only one gig of ram can this cause unstability ?
One thing : when cold, the start time between the push on the button and the moment when the fan begin to run at full speed is almost 5 min. If I do a reboot it's take no time at all.

Disk test is only disk test.
This is the perfect example of why RAID is not a backup. The OS is build on a RAID1 volume. You have six times the same "broken" OS. The RAID array does its job well, it's the OS stored on it that's broken.
I'd suggest contacting NETGEAR Support.
According to some other threads 6.7.0 has some issues with quotas that trigger OOM (see 6.7.1 beta thread). Are you in that situation?
Thank's for your answer.
Okay for one system on a RAID 1,
-but snapshot thorically allow versionning. Why not have a way for booting on the last successfull boot configuration ?
- OS with one disk accept repair tools booting from a CD, (I'm so old that I did this kind of things with floppy ! :-) )
I'm on 6.6.1.
My conclusion is that repair are made by the team to minimze wrong actions. So I call the fireman and admitt I'm unable to solve my problem by myself.
