ReadyNAS 2100 FrontView blank page - Firmware 4.2.31
Hi, Not sure If I am in the right place but here goes as I need some help. I have three readyNAS 2100's. I have had no issue installing OS6 on the first two. This third one did not like it an...
Ok, thanks StephenB Sandshark - making some progress...
lsblk did not work for me but I tried ls dev, which gave me a list of device ID's I think. I tried the one at the end that looked like ti was in isolation i.e. sdf1 and command mount sdf1 usb worked. I could then list the contents of the usb and see my text file. Copy operation of cp /mnt/vpd /usb worked fine and I now have a copy of the file.
Next step to put it on the broken 2100 and see If it gets FrontView working again. Thanks for both your help so far.

Ok. Some of the tools require you to mount the OS partition and chroot when in tech support mode.

That is a different problem. Try doing an OS reinstall from the boot menu. Note that will reset the admin password to netgear1.
The VPD isn't changed between OS4.2.x and OS6. In fact, native OS6 units don't use it at all. But writing to the flash and then getting the "corrupt root" message could be an indication that the flash is actually faulty, since it wasn't before. But do try an OS re-install as StephenB suggested before you reach that conclusion.
