ReadyNas Duo RND2000 v2 does not boot
Hi! I have a problem with my ReadyNAS Duo RND 2000 v2. Yesterday while cleaning I unplugged the NAS because I wanted to sort all of my cables in a nice way, but when I restarted it, it wouldn't boot....
what happens if you enter \\nas-ip-address into windows file explorer's address bar (using the actual NAS IP address)?
Also, if you are using Windows 10, then go into "Turn Windows Features on and off" and see if the SMB 1.0 client is still enabled.
Did you just disconnect the power, or did you shut it down using the web interface?
What firmware are you running?
Do you need to extract files from the NAS, or is it backed up?
I just disconnected the power, it hasn't been any problem before.
Not running any firmware, havn't needed it as the NAS has been working fine.
No backup except for the internal (between the two drives)

That is risky, and if there are cached writes that haven't yet been written to disk it can result in data loss.

The NAS absolutely has firmware, and can't boot without it.
One reason to ask is to confirm that your NAS is really a v2. Many v1 owners think they have a v2, because the labeling is confusing. A v1 is sparc-based and runs 4.1.x firmware; a v2 is arm-based and runs 5.3.x firmware.
Does your NAS say "v2" on the front panel? Ignore the labels on the back.

RAID isn't enough to keep your data safe.
If you can connect disk 1 of your NAS to a windows PC (either SATA or with a USB adapter or dock) you can copy off the data. Windows won't recognize the disk format, but r-linux for windows should be able to read it. http://www.r-tt.com/free_linux_recovery/
Ok, so it doesn't say v2 on the front, which means I have the v1 (damn labeling)...
RAIDar didn't say what kind of firmware the NAS is using (it was blank) but I don't see how the firmware could just have disappeared?
If the two disks back-up against eachother shouldn't dataloss be near null?

There are several scenarios where RAID-1 can fail. One is when you pull the plug when there are writes in the cache that hasn't been executed. That can put the RAID out of sync, or result in file system corruption.

This was with the disks installed or the disks removed?

The next step is r-linux for windows on a PC (connecting disk 1 of the NAS to the PC using a USB adapter or esata).
with your v1, the two disks aren't identical - one of them will appear unformatted (even to another linux system).
