ReadyNAS 600 - stuck booting (SOLVED)
My ReadyNAS 600 Rev A is stuck booting, all drives show up as green in RAIDar, no yellow lights in the front. Power light(blue) blinking every 4. I left it on for 14 hours and it got no where. This pr...
Ok first successful progress in days finally made. I pulled all HDD's out.
I then installed a single 2TB for testing.
First Installed and Second booting.
I'm sure I have an older version on the original 4 HDD's I took out.
From RAIDar I have seen it installing and then creating volume followed by Booting.
And now I wait, as nothing seems to be happening and Booting remains in RAIDar...
And then
It looks like it's finally Booting again.
Some more activity with HDD1 and then 4.1.14 appears in RAIDar but with no HDD showing as present or Volume, but this is probably because the spare I was using was probably an old spare with partitions of Ext2 and Ext3 on it.
But then all of a sudden both the HDD and the Volume appear in RAIDar.
Now after days FrontView is available.
Damn admin.. password.. netgear1 then I'm in but FrontView crashes in Google crime and then reloads.
So moral is wait wait try try.
Now I still have 4 HDD that need to go back in with older firmware.
I have had a lot of grief with the boot and reset pin as it takes the old X6 about 25 seconds for the normal 5 second lights to appear.
What do you suggest to do next?
1. Power off, install all 4 HDD then power up...
Or
2. Install all HDD and then try for an OS update or is that automatic?
