ReadyNAS 1100 won't boot
Good Day - I have the 1100 with 4 X 1TB disks (3 Seagate, 1 WD). Was experiencing intermittent lockups (volume inaccessible). Power off/on got us back to normal state. Last occurrence has RAIDAR showing file system check getting to 72% and no further. Have power cycled several times and it still halts at 72%. Have restarted with 1 suspect drive disconnected. Boots OK, but the volume is not recognized. Any input on steps towards a resolution?

- Do you have a backup of all data stored in your NAS?
Did you received any e-mail notification that a drive/s is/are failing?
Its advisable to contact Netgear support, refer on this link: http://support.netgear.com/general/contact/#tab-call - No backup...I know, I know...
No email notification, but I did check the log screen not long before this issue became severe. Drive 1 error count was growing, but was still relatively low (around 10). Can I try booting with that drive out? scieslicki wrote: No email notification, but I did check the log screen not long before this issue became severe.

Kindly try it. Turn off the NAS then pull-out drive 1 then turn on the NAS and check if the NAS will boot up completely. Check if it will be detected on RAIDar as well.- It's detected on RAIDar. Both IP's are listed; both show Drive 1 as not present; both show no volume. I would show a RAIDar screen shot, but could not figure out how to attach it.

Since it shows no volume, its really advisable to contact Netgear Support and they could help you with your concern. Check the previous link I have provided. Be reminded that if ever your NAS is out of support warranty, Netgear Support might offer you a support contract so that they could provide you with technical assistance.- I will contact Support. I can now access the NAS with FrontView. It lists my one and only share, but shows 0% used. Here's the most recent log messages:
