ReadyNAS 314 stuck on "Booting..." after failed Emby app update
I've been using my ReadyNAS 314 without a problem for several years (I previously owned an NV+ which I've since handed down to my mother and also maintain). Today, I got a notification that a new ver...
At this point, all I want to be able to do is backup my data so I can transfer it to a new NAS. But since the ReadyNAS won't finish booting, I can't. I'm not able to access it via SMB either. It doesn't show up in Windows File Manager at all.
Does anyone have any ideas at all?
UPDATE: Using the "Tech Support" boot option, I was able to Telnet into the ReadyNAS. I'm able to access my data, but I can't figure out how to mount a USB drive to back it up. Is there an easy way to do that? Since I don't have access to the Admin front-end, I need to be able to do it via the command line.

How is the USB drive formated?
Also, does
systemctl start smbwork?
That would start up the SMB service, so you can access the files over the network.
It was an SSD I had connected via a USB adapter, and it was brand new and unformatted. When I connected it to the front USB port, it showed up in /proc/partitions and I was able to create a partition table and format it as ext4. I'm now manually copying over my files to the drive.
I would still like to be able to boot the ReadyNAS fully, but as long as I have the data, I can just do a factory reset and copy the data back until I have enough money to move over to a Synology NAS.
Do you have any suggestions on getting Frontview/SMB working again on a normal boot?
P.S. Doing "systemctl start smb" doesn't work because I'm in chroot. I get the message "running in chroot ignoring request"

Yeah - I thought there was an issue, but didn't recall what it was.

Not without having more information on why it is failing. It might be faster to just to the reset than figuring out what's going on (and of course the reset is guaranteed to fix everything).
