ReadyNas 102 firmware upgrade failure
Hi, I got myself a ReadyNAS 102 including two 3TB WD harddrives (WD30EFRX). After initial setup it asked me to upgrade the firmware to 6.1.3. After starting the firmware upgrade the system did not re...
I use these same disks in my RN102, and they are working perfectly. There were no issues upgrading to 6.1.3 or 6.1.4.
So I am thinking one of your disks might be bad. You can test it on a PC using Western Digital Lifeguard - which is their disk diagnostic. You download it from Western Digital's web site.
But that does require that you use an enclosure that supports 3 TB disks - which is why I asked more specifically what you meant when said "I also tried connecting one of them to an external harddrive enclosure, which did not work." It might actually have worked, since Windows will not show the drive in my computer (since it does not recognize linux formats).
An alternative theory is that the contents might have gotten corrupted. In which case, a factory reset might get you up and running again.
