Infrant RNV2-S2-0000 moving disks to new device with no luck
My Infrant RNV2-S2-0000 just died today. It absolutely wouldn't start.
Went down to the store to get a new Netgear RND4000-200NAS because someone told me that's the next generation of this model. However, after transferring the disks from the old machine to the new device, it wouldn't work. Just indicating error on the front screen.
Someone told me it is because the RNV2-S2-0000 and the RND4000-200NAS are not compatible. Someone suggested to find a RND4000-100NAS.
Someone else also suggested to find an used RNV2-S2-0000 on eBay.
However, another person told me if the disks are not used with the original machine, and if I move the disks to a new machine, it will be read as a new device, and the disks will be re-configurated and all their contents will be lost. OH NO.
I even tried and looked around to see if anyone can fix the old RNV2-S2-0000, but no luck.
Anyone has any suggestions on what I should do?

- The NV+ v2 (charcoal chassis) uses a different RAID format to the NV+ v1 (silver chassis).
You would either need to migrate your disks to a v1 or to attempt data recovery e.g. following the advice here: Mounting Sparc-based ReadyNAS Drives in x86-based Linux
