readynas 102 ethernet port dead
Hi I think my readynas is still under warranty but how can I get the data of my readynas before I send it in or whatever? The Ethernet port is dead for some reason - no lights on the switch. Sam...
I think you should see directly with the support, but chances are that they will send you the exact same device (another RN102, or yours with ethernet replacement) and that plugging the disks in the same order will work (just write a number on each disk), it may even work if you invert them.
They will explain you how to update the OS version on the flash I think, so that you get the same version on flash and disks, just in case you need to reinstall the OS before the next update.
If you want access to your data during the exchange/repair process, you could plug the disks on a linux box (fedora seems to be one of the best for BTRFS), if you are using raid1 (default), you should see your content, if you use another raid you would have to remount it manually.
