Readynas Disappeared from network
Hi All, I set up my readynas in 2018 and it's been working fine since. Today I tried to access my files, and it wouldn't load. I tried to go to the IP address and it says not found. I checked my...
Since RAIDar found it diskless, then something has happened to the disks.
You can try booting up in read-only mode from the boot menu without disk 1 (but with the others), and see if that works.
If it does: the volume will be degraded (meaning no RAID redundancy). Offload your data before proceeding further, since it is at risk.
If it doesn't work: you can power down the NAS, and try again without disk 2 (but with disk 1). Similarly with disk 3 and disk 4.
What NAS model do you have?
Are the ethernet LEDs showing a connection at the NAS and the router?
Also, you could try powering down the NAS, and removing the disks (labeling by slot). Then power up diskless, and see if you get an IP address at the router, and if RAIDar can find it.
Hi, I have a RR2304.
Rear ethernet port has a green light constant, and a blinking orange light. The switch also lights up that it's plugged into.
I just pulled the 3 drives out and RAIDar found it. I used the default password to enter, and it says no discs found currently.
What can I do next? Thank you!
- I'm on my phone and there's no edit button that I see. Please excuse the double post. The IP address did change. I'm plugged in a different port on the back of the NAS and everything too though.

Hi Stephen,
So I pulled out Disk 1, and it booted on disk 2. My usual password worked, interface worked, etc.It automatically updated the firmware according to the logs. I powered down, put drive 1 in, and we are copying the data now. It's iffy, but it looks as if the data is copying. The speeds are jumping all over and it's taking a long time, but it looks to be working.
If I can get the data off, I will be excited! After that, I don't know if it was just a bad update, or a bad drive...
Again, thank you for your guidance thus far!
