ReadyNAS 104 Unresponsive after 1.30 Hours
Hi, I have two NAS104 with 4TB drives [6.10.7 firmware]. Raid 5 configuration. One [Network2] seems to be having connection issues, will boot up okay but access to files is not happening and aft...

Hi StephenB,
Just to let you know I am resolving this as I have factory reset Network1 [this will take about a week to complete] and have a very heathy Network2 as I managed to get back in and delete the SnapShots and other files after a backup, [both ReadyNAS]. I have ordered a new Synology DS418 [to add to my already Network3 Synology DS418] with 3 10TB disks to give me another 20TB of protected data with space for another 10TB later. The two old ReadyNAS will form the redundancy and backup drives.
Thanks for you assistance, the session for all is, Backup, Backup, and backup some more! Maintenance is certainly a key also so I will have a full program of maintenance for the new hardware architecture.
Best regards,
Jim

Thanks StephenB,
I have ordered the 10TB disks but will shift the disks and see what occurs before I install the new 10TB disks. I have also ordered a new 4 bay NAS and can finish backing up and then delete files to make space on the old NAS's for Backup.
I have snapshots enabled.

I'd turn them off when the NAS is responsive. Then delete some (starting with the oldest). That might not free up disk space immediately, but it could help.

Hi StephenB,
Tried the disk migration, from Network2 to network1, same result, I will revert the drives and then wait on the new 10TB disks. Once have installed new and created space on Network2 I will then delete already backed up files, that would give me plenty of space to go back to the original 4TB and use the new 10TB [plus the 2 unused 4TB I keep as spare] to setup the new NAS [Sad to say its not Netgear].
I would like to keep this ticket open until this is resolved.
Thanks,
Jim

Seems I have "do_exit+4c8" error, for the Network1after replacing the original disks, this appears to be a boot up error, do I need to boot from usb?
Seen this on a few forums but it's not clear how to fix.
Thanks

Ouch. Does this also happen if you migrate the disks back to Network2?
