Unfortunately, failure to fully boot can have lots of different causes.
Can you clarify more precisely what you did when you "tried reset"? Did you mean a factory default, an OS reinstall, or perhaps something else???
Also, what firmware are you running?
Hello
Thank you for responding. I appreciate you taking the time to do so.
The lastest firmware update resulted with a corrupt 214 NAS. My two other NAS 214's updated without issue.
I have implemented a factory reset.
Thank you.
Typically, it's not the update per se that causes issues, it's the reset that it requires. For many, it's the only reset in months. Problems can be present that are detected at power-on and may have little effect (at least initially) on a running system. I usually reset my NAS once a month or so, making sure it's after completion of an update to my backups. I got in the habit of doing that back when I had an NV with an option to check the file system on the next reboot (something I think OS6 always does). Unfortunately, I started doing so only after the first time I lost a volume. I've never lost an OS6 volume due to a reset. I did have one go read-only because of a BTRFS error that made me have to factory default, but that didn't take a reset to detect. So, am I doing it more often than necessary? Maybe. But it doesn't really take any time for me to do so, and I feel better knowing that if a problem does happen, I'm more in control of when it will happen.
Hello Sandshark
I have two NAS 214 that updated without issue. I assumed the update would be OK for the third 214 NAS,
I checked the disks. All OK. Not that I thought disks were the issue. I think I tried a reset prior to the factory reset. I really did not want to spend three days rebuilding the NAS. In the end regrettably, that is what I had to do. I should have accepted that in the beginning. I wasted two days trying to find a solution. Sadly researched recommendations proved to be a complete failure.
Have a fabulous weekend and thank you for taking the time to submit your solution. Much appreciated.
