ReadyNAS Duo v1 stuck on Booting after power outage
There was a power outage at my house which turned my ReadyNAS Duo off. This has happened before so I manually powered it On but could not access FrontView or see it in RAIDar. I then accessed the boot menu to power it On and Skip Volume Check. Now, RAIDar can see it but stuck on Booting. Still can't access FrontView. Responds to pings from cmd prompt.
Hello dorian50,
OS resintall won't help. Is it configured as XRAID? If it is configured as mirror RAID, maybe try pulling out one of the disks and see if that will allow you to access the shares. The idea is finding out if one of the disks is causing the problem, so label the disks with which bay they are inserted and has been working, disk order is important.

You might have lost the volume.
You can try powering down and mounting disk 1 in a PC (using R-linux for Windows: http://www.r-tt.com/free_linux_recovery/ )

Hi StephenB,
Thank you for your reply. Can the volume be lost if RIADar sees both disks as green/healthy? Also, would an OS reinstall help in this scenario?
