Readynas 3200 being unresponsive
Hi there,
I have a Netgear Readynas 3200 that is currently on firmware 4.2.25. It started acting up on me (not being able to read from it, not displaying web GUI, not allowing me to change/set anything in GUI) so I did the OS re-install. Which it seemed to do. All password have been reset and IP details reset back to DHCP.
But the issue now is that it is still not letting me change any settings. If I try do the upgrade to the latest firmware it tells me that the file is not the right one for that architecture. Though I have used that same file successfully on another 3200 box.
Any suggestions?
I would really rather not have to factory reset the box if I can avoid it.

Do you have ssh access enabled?
No. I can only get in via Https Web interface. But it won't let me enable anything on there.
I was wondering if it was enabled before.
One cause of the behavior you are seeing is a filling OS partition (not the data volume, but the 4 GB linux partition).
If it will let you delete the logs, try that next (both system and backup logs). DON'T try to download them - that could brick the NAS.
If that helps, then enable ssh (install enablerootssh from here: http://www.readynas.com/?p=4203), then look at the OS fullness with
df . -i
df . -h
If you can't delete the logs (or if it doesn't help) then I suggest either
(a) backing up the data and doing a factory reset
or
(b) contacting netgear support (support.netgear.com). They might charge.
Someone from Netgear who is active here might also offer to look at your NAS remotely.
