Pro 6 Moving Gas Guage on Boot - Array Rebuild?
I recently used the button to shut down the power on a Pro 6 running v6 firmware. (Yea, forgot to do it though the web page...)
On startup I get "ReadyNAS" on the top line and on the second line a gas guage that builds from left to right and then repeats. The device has been running for about 14 hours with no change.
The device has not grabbed an IP Address, so I'm assuming it never started or completed the boot process. But on the chance that the Array may be rebuilding, I don't want to stop it and go through this time again. I'm tempted to shut it down again and restart to see what happens, but figued I'd let it run for a while and see if I get a response here.
I'll restart without the drives to see if the chassis boots on it's own. If it does come up, I'll shut down via the web interface and add the drives again and see what happens when I restart.

Have you tried looking at the status with RAIDar? https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar

Note that you won't have a GUI if you boot without disks as the OS is on the disks.
