Readynas 6.4.1 RN102 boot issue - OS reinstall did not help.
I have powered down my RN102 from the admin page system menu. Upon reboot, it just sits there with the power led flashing. Act, Disk 1 and Disk 2 LEDs are lit as well as a red/amber light at the back...
A big thank you to mdgm. I am very favorably impressed with the quality and speed of the support.
Problem is a change I made using ssh and not a ReadyNas hardware or software problem.
Thank you for your questions.
1. FW prior to the update - not sure, I guess the one released before 6.4.1. In any case, that problem has been solved by doing a factory reset.
2. I cannot ping the NAS with the blinking blue light. RAIDar only reports back 1 NAS (the one that works) and not the one that is blinking.
3. When I try to go to the admin page, Firefox replies it cannot connect to the server.
4. I have 90% backed up. Some stuff I can re-download.
Best regards,
Piet
One more thing: it would still be nice to recover the data on this NAS. I note in the boot menu there is a data recovery option. What does it do and can I use it?
thank you, Piet
The volume read-only option boots the NAS up but mounting the data volume read-only. This is useful in cases where the data volume fails to mount read/write, but can be mounted read-only as you can then copy the data off.
If you can boot into that mode you may wish to send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig).I have tried to reboot in read only mode, but no difference. Still red light at the back, blinking power LED and LED1 and LED2 lit.
Any other things I can do?
Thank you,
Piet
I have sent you a PM.
