ReadyNAS Duo v1 OS Reinstall questions
From my previous post: I have purchased another seagate 2tb drive and was able to install the os the drive from disc 1 slot. So I have eliminated that the controller for the Duo has gone bad. I ha...
This was a great site but I can't reach it anymore.
Hi clblackman,
Does the device still show up in RAIDar? Could you try to do a ping via cmd? Also, check if you can access https://192.168.1.61/admin/.
Kind regards,

An OS Re-install won't necessarily fix corrupt root. It does depend what caused it.
If you have corrupt root due to a full 2GB root volume for example, then doing an OS Re-install may actually make your problems worse.
Do you have a backup?I do not have a backup of my raid.
What are my options if the device is full?
It'd be helpful if you answered Brian's questions:

The Duo shows up in RAIDar 6.0 while it is starting up.
Drive 1 has a red X
Drive 2 has a green check mark
Once it seems to have started up I can no longer see it in RAIDar or on my router.
Try powering down the NAS and see if it boots with disk 1 removed.
If it does, then back up your data right away.
You could then test the drive 1 with seatools in a Windows PC.
Thank you for the quick answer.
I have pulled disc 1. The Duo has been booting for about 30 minutes now. RAIDar 6 gives me the same System Starting up message.
Drive 1 has a red x (it's not there so that's not a surprise.)
driver 2 has a check mark.
The power button led is pulsing. About 2 pulses per second.
The duo had been doing this with both drives installed. I never reached at started duo.
I will be back later and check.
Thank you for the help so far.
I have also downloaded seatools and will attempt that from a windows machine later.
