Ready NAS Duo V2 - No Disks Detected after Firmware Upgrade
I recently carried out a firmware update on my Ready NAS Duo V2 (RND2000). I then went away for Christmas, and have not been able to read the disk since. I am only using a single disk as I am just...
Thanks for your response StephenB.
I have further information about this, firstly you are right it is a version 1, stupid of me to think that V2 on the bottom mean't it was a version 2.
Now learning more 'the hard way' I have bought 2 new disks and inserted both and started again and seem to be moving forwards.
It would appear that what has happened, is that when the firmware upgraded, it has swapped from FlexRAID to RAIDX and therefore did not recognise the disk.
1. Why would it do this, I have upgraded before and not had any problems, this time I 'fired and forgot' and was not there to supervise and make the decision. The comment I made previously about the "10 second option" should have actually read that there was 10 minutes to chose the RAID type.
2. If I am using only one disk in the device, why would it default to RAID X ??
