ReadyNAS 424 booting anomalies
I have two ReadyNAS 424 units - 2018 purchase - running 6.10.8. Both have started to show the same anomaly. One I fixed by reinstalling the firmware - the other doesn't respond to the same action. ...
Well I solved it. Three USB drives later I had a good USB install that I used. I waited 'till the second boot started - pressed one of the panel bars (light came on), waited 'till the centre light went off and pressed the button for 30+ secs. Unit acknowledged that USB boot was selected (the first time of happening) - from then on it went according to plan.
Much faster to boot up.
Thanks to all.
Thanks. No I haven't done that (factory default) but it also happens with no drives present. Just tried it again (diskless) and it occurred. I factory defaulted it again via the boot menu, installed a spare drive (1TB SSD) and it seems to have completed a boot w/o issues. I had this with this NAS unit before (week or so ago). Anomaly seems to have cleared but then reoccured. Firmware getting corrupted repeatedly ?
I'll leave the SSD installed and check the log zip file if it occurs again.
Can I download a new copy of the current firmware via the USB route using my Mac ?
Cheers.
PS. Just logged into the new SSD instal and some of the screen was missing ! Specifically, there was no ShutDown dialogue box in the top right corner nor was there the box to add a new user. Rebooted manually and the missing boxes appeared. Must be some errors in the install somewhere.
