New NAS Erased data on ANOTHER NAS in network!!!
Hi All There are 4 people who work at my company, and 3 of them have a NAS. Everyone is networked together, but no one has each other's password. I was put in charge of installing an old ReadyNAS...
When you initiate a factory default there is a 10 minute window in which you can open RAIDar, click setup and see a dialog box pop up allowing you to choose X-RAID or Flex-RAID. After confirming your choice a packet would be sent to the NAS to start wiping the disks etc. After 10 minutes if you haven't made a choice it would automatically wipe the NAS.
So it is possible that whatever happened, happened during this window. The setup option only applies to the NAS that was newly reset...not all NAS on the network...correct?...so I'm still perplexed.
Something about the way these 2 NAS systems were related caused this bug, because there was a 3rd NAS on the network that wasn't touched.
Also if there was a bug both NAS units would have wiped not just one.
The newly created NAS had blank hard drives so there is no way to verify.
