Readynas 2100 Stuck in telnet
Hi My Readynas 2100 is stuck in telnet mode. I have tested to change different boot version but it only comes backs and have telnet open. So is the only fix to do a USB recovering ore can I mak...

So I now have my readynas 2100 in os 6 and all working,
Thanks for the help !
So what helped me was
1. Raidar great tool run on all platforms and show status on the nas when everything else is down
2. Took disk and WIPE then clean with fdisk. Else I could not get anything to start3. When it started it was on TLS 1.0 so I needed a browser that allowed it.
So what got me wrong is I hade the ide that Readynas had a OS inbuilt and could run without disk.
That was got me in the wrong direction.// Matet

Correct. The system boots from a small OS partition on the drives.

It will format blank drives, install the OS onto the drives, and create the RAID array.
It might sometimes do that with previously formatted drives (it depends on how they are formatted and what is on them). Since it isn't that predictable, it is best to either use blank drives or do a factory default using the boot menu.
Note that if you hot-insert a drive into the NAS while it is running, it will always reformat the drive (no matter what was on it before).
