RAIDiator 5.3.7 duo v2 - unaccessible

Ok

I've been running this for about a week now and this is the second time my NAS is "on" but not accessible.

I can ping it but not access anything on it - frontview or any of the shares.

Not had any issues with 5.3.5

Was wondering if anyone else has experienced any problems.

The only option I can do is turn the NAS off and reboot it.

If this happens again I'm thinking of rolling back to 5.3.5 and monitoring it.

  • Hi devilsrear
    I am running 5.3.7 and have not experienced any problems all seems very stable,
    maybe it would be worth trying a OS reinstall to see if this fixes your issue before rolling back firmware.
  • Hi, you can find some terminal commands to try to fix oyur nas. None of them fixed mine:

    We're so many having problems with dashboard or frontview, with no help from support.
  • Dear Forum Members

    I recently bought a ReadyNAS Duo v2 and started using it on 6th December 2012, so I have only ever used the device with firmware 5.3.7, and from the start the user rights have never worked properly. I can create shares with default rights, no problem, but when I add specific user rights to those shares (or any share) the next day the user rights no longer work and I am locked out of my shares. The only way to regain access is to re-tick default user rights "Everyone" and "Allow Anonymous access", which defeats the whole object of restricting access to certain users and specific shares.

    I have, with the help of tech support, re-installed the NAS's O/S, this has not worked in fact it has made things slightly worse.

    There is no doubt, from what has been written earlier, that firmware 5.3.7 has introduced a bug that has a negative affect on how shares interact with user rights.

    At the moment I am awaiting a solution from tech support, which I believe will have to be in the form of a firmware update or patch (that's if they are working on one).
