Ready Nas wont Boot
Hello, Have a Ready Nas RN10400. I applied yesterday a firmware update on the device which seemed to go well. It rebooted, came back up and everything was working as it should. I came to the devic...
Just a quick update. I did try to use a usb device and re-install the firmware. Didnt resolve anything, so I decided to install an older firmware version so see if it was the new one with the issues. Still no change. Have tested the hard drives and they report that they are fine. Not sure where to go from here. If there a way that I can pull the data off the drives so I dont loose anything?
this just happened to me! DO NOT let it boot all the way. if it crashes during the resync that my happen you will lose everything.
I have seem multiple people recoment booting it into read only mode, and getting evertyhing valuable off of it.
I hope this helps you not have to go through what I did this weekend of losing everything after the resync failed.
Good to know - how do you boot into read only mode? I'll have to try that tonight and see if I can than pull my data off.
So - this afternoon - even though the drives say they are healthy and good - If I remove drive 3 from the bay, the system will now boot up. The problem with that is that its showing my raid 5 as red and inactive - and when I put a new drive in bay 3 - its greyed out and wont allow me to add it to the raid. So im not sure if this means that I have lost everything or where to go from here. If I cant get this to work, think im just going to build a PC with hot spares and a raid card and not mess with this system anymore. Pretty sad that you cant even contact support without having to pay a fee. Wont purchase another netgear product because of this. Any thoughts on how to turn my raid active again and to have it sync up with the replaced drive?
