Readynas 31400 Booting Issue
replying to this after long time.
I have done factory reset, OS Re-install also after backup.
Also i replaced 2 Tb HDDs with new 4Tb HDDs.
But, issue remains the same.
When I start the NAS first time, it is being stuck at Booting...
Then I do power off and start it again, it will boot normally.
Please provide some other solution.

Hello kalpsr ,
And welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂
Attach the screenshot of the error you are getting and please tell the date of purchase of your NAS device.
Also, download the logs and attach them we will check what causes this issue.'

They'll want the entire log zip file. There is some privacy leakage, so it is best to send a private message ( PM) to AnishaA using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
Upload the zip to cloud storage (dropbox, google drive, etc), and then put a download link in the PM.

Hello kalpsr,
From the logs, it seems fine, and could not find any particular error for this issue. Need to investigate the issue deeper.
If you are falling under warranty I would suggest you open a support ticket case.
We will debug the issue and provide a possible solution.

Does this happen every single time you power up the NAS?
Have you ever seen it happen when you simply restart it (leaving it powered)?
Have you tried running the diagnostics from RAIDar?

As I observed, It is happening when the NAS is powered of without normal shutdown.
Have you ever seen it happen when you simply restart it (leaving it powered)?
No. Issue is not happening when doing normal shutdown and restart.
Have you tried running the diagnostics from RAIDar?
Ran the test. Showing not any error.

Actually I'm not seeing that in either thread. You said

I don't see anything about how the NAS was shutdown before the failure to boot, and I don't see anything that says whether this happens 100% of the time.
I am asking this: When you power down the NAS with the preferred shutdown, does it always fail to fully boot when you start it up again? Or does it sometimes boot normally?
