ReadNAS Duo v2 corrupt root
Hello
I'm hoping someone can help me out I have A ReadNAS Duo v2 not used it for awhile so I come to use it thought I'd factory reset so it would format the HD did it via the IP address came to look at it just the disk 2 was flashing left it going a day still the same so tried again via the reset button hold down power button then cycle through to disk 2 pressed reset goes straight to disk 2 flashing OK left it couple days I have 2 x 3tb WD in there. No change had to pull power out to reset it anyway I took drives out formatted them via PC drives are fine. Put back in now the nas won't do anything turn it on it loads up 2 disk lights turn on but on the raidar shows up corrupted root. I have tried everything on here to fix but nothing is working. Can anyone shed some information on this please stressed me out this week. đ«

- Is there any data you're worried about? Otherwise, don't stress. Taking the drives out and testing them in a PC may have written something to the drives that the nas doesn't understand. So, no biggie, take the drives out and wipe them in the pc and put them back in the nas and start over.
- Thanks for the reply. I've done that re formated the 2 drives no errors put back in nas still nothing. Tried with just 1 drive in nas nothing.
You can't format them--you have to completely wipe them. Use something like the parted magic live cd and wipe all the partitions and even the boot sector if possible. Then put them back in and the nas should be able to use them again.
