No network link after disk 1 failure #19879784
Recently my Pioneer Pro's disk 1 failed and now, once fully booted, it does not recognize any network link from either of its ethernet ports, either when connected directly into the modem or even when connected directly into the ethernet port on the back of my PC.
I have/had 6 1TB disks installed; disk 1 is the disk that has failed.
I tried removing disk 1 but not replacing it (haven't had a chance to buy a new disk yet), but the ReadyNAS display still says "no network link".
When I try to use RAIDar to find the device on my network, it sometimes sees it but does not let me access it or get into Setup (it says there is a network error).
Can someone tell me how i can regain access my ReadyNAS? Why have its ethernet ports failed to detect a network link? What should I do?

Particularly if you haven't done so in a very long time. There have been a lot of filesystem improvements since say 4.2.8 and 4.2.22 that can only be obtained via doing a factory default.
Thanks, I'll take your advice. Finding space for 6 TB of backing up is proving quite a challenge, but it sounds like a good idea.
