ReadyNas Duo losing access to shares
I have a problem where I am losing access on my computers to my shares on the ReadyNas Duo. After a NAS reboot, the shares are accessible for a while, but after some time becomes inaccessible with a ...
It sounds like a filling OS partition. Support can fix that easily, though they will charge.
You can try deleting all logs (system and backup) and see if that helps. Don't try to download them.
Do you have SSH enabled? Do you use ReadyDLNA?
If you use xraid (and are running 4.1.x firmware), data can be retrieved with Linux Reader (a windows PC program): http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
If you have redundancy, one disk is the data disk, the other is the parity disk. Linux Reader needs the data disk attached to the PC (USB adapter or directly with SATA). Usually that is disk 1 (leftmost).
Thanks for your response Stephen.
I did clear all the logs.
No, I don't have SSH enabled and I am not using ReadyDLNA. But I went searching for the SSH option, which I could not find. But I did find the FTP option and was able to start the FTP service. Now I am in the process of downloading all my data to an external drive and that seems to be working for now.
Where can I find the SSH option and can I use that to SSH to the NAS server or would that only give me access to the shares?
Unfortunately, I am running the NAS in Raid 0 (or is that 1) configuration where the one drive is a mirror of the other. I wanted the redundancy. Was that a bad choice? What would you recommend?
Presuming that I have all the data that I care about on my external drive, how do I go about fixing my system? Will a factory reset do it, or is it more complicated than that?
Again, thanks for your help. Much appreciated!!
