Netgear ReadyNAS 214 won't boot past 99% and Shares not accessible
My ReadyNAS had been a bit slow in reacting and bringing up files so I looked at the screen and saw "booting 99%" and "clamav-clamonacc".
After attempting to access the device via RAIDar I saw that the management service was down.
I wasn't able to get to the administrator page. It keeps timing out. I tried lowering of the unit, but no reaction. I also tried inducing a safe power down by unplugging my Eaton UPS so it would send a signal to the NAS to power down. That also didn't work.
After waiting another 24 hours I pulled the power cord. The device still got stuck at the same 99% each time.
I tried doing a OS reinstall. That worked and the device rebooted to 100%, but my shares/ volumes are no longer visible and a message is displayed to that effect. Up until this point the shares were accessible.
I fear that the RAID version was reset with the reinstall of the OS. But I can't find a way to get it back to what it was. I keep getting error codes.
I can see my hard drives and I can see that they have data, but I cannot access them...
Please help!

I suggest downloading the full log zip file from the logs page.
Are you seeing "inactive volumes" on the volumes page? Or something else?
- Thanks for the reply StephenB.
The NAS brings up an error when I try to download the log files.
When I reboot in OS reinstall mode, I can see the following error on the admin page:
"Please remove inactive volumes #1 2 3 to use your drive." or similar

What error are you getting when you download the log files?
Are you seeing any indication on the logs page that the root is full?
