Netgear RNDP6000 in safe mode
My NAS went into safe mode this afternoon. My conclusion is that i might need to re-install the OS.
The documentation page on the netgear site is unavailable and i have found some instructions but are not explicit enough to move forward. Could someone please provide detailed instructions as i cannot afford to lose the data on these disks. This NAS had been working fine and for no reason lost contact with the network. I needed to power cycle it and it has set itself to the basic configuration. I can see that the disks are all present and in a RAID 5 configuration.
renamed it from .zip to .pdf so i could upload it.

Maybe. But probably not.
Is this NAS converted to run OS-6? If that is the case, is the volume inactive?
I suggest getting the full log zip file from the NAS, as there will be more clues in the zip on what went wrong. If you want me to take a look, then put the full zip into cloud storage (dropbox, google drive, ...), and send me a private message (PM) with a download link. Make sure the permissions are set so anyone with the link can download. You send a PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.

HI, it is running the latest version which is 6.10 i believe. Don't know how to provide a zip file if you could help. I 'm just trying to find out detailed OS re-install procedures.
any help would be appreciated, thanks

It won't help you, and might cause more damage
