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

I am not keen on migrating back to the Netwok2 box as it wont fully boot anyway, I think I will just do a factory reset as all the data on Netwok1 is backed up, would this give me access to the configuration as per initial setup?
A factory reset will format the disks, and reinstall the software to the OS partition. So you'd need to re-do the setup (recreating shares, users, etc).
One suggestion - instead of enabling "smart" snapshots, set up custom snapshots with limited retention. The monthly "smart" snapshots are retained indefinitely, and eventually will fill up the disk.
