ReadyNAS 104 ERR: Could not mount boot flash #24308679
Hello, My RN104 does not start. It shows in the LCD screen "ERR: Could not mount boot flash" and the power button blinks. It does not respond to the power button and I've removed the HDDs after plugi...
Going back to 6.2.4 is not recommended and if you run into problems with an unsupported downgrade and you're out of support warranty you can expect support to charge for assisting with that.
With those OOM errors you should have tried booting to volume read-only mode, backed up your data, verified your backup is good and if all your data was backed up proceeded to do a factory reset (wipes all data, settings, everything and restore your data from backup).
If you see TFTP_REQ then USB Boot Recovery is typically recommended.
Your system currently can't find the boot flash though. I will PM you a suggestion that you could try.
Hi mdgm,
Looks to be a common issue for alot of us, as i too now have the "ERR: Could not mount boot flash" on my LCD.
I too have tried USB recovery, OS Reinstall and factory reset to no avail.
I will admit i too have tried to downgrade from 6.4 to 6.2.4 where i encountered the error.
I was running 6.4.2 downgraded to 6.4.0 beta successfully and when trying to downgrade to 6.2.4 this is where the issue occured.
This is a brand new unit, purchased last week for a customer, so i need to get this back an operational again so i can install it into customers office.
I have another customer that was having performance issues since an upgrade was done last week to 6.4.2. I completed a factory reset and performance fixed itself for approx 24 hours. And now is experiancing performance issues again. I would like to downgrade the firmware but not if this is going to occur on the customers as well.
Please can you help me mdgm?
