Readynas Duo v2 blinking leds, can't acsess
Hi,
Recently I wanted to check on the disks of my Readynas Duo v2 and when I ran Raidar it upgraded itself to the latest version but I got sidetracked and never connected to it.
A couple of days later I realized that the shut down scehdule wasn't working and when I tried to access it the admin page came up all jumbled so I shut the unit of manually. The front panel button didn't work so I had to pull the power.
After Reboot Raidar had a blue dot and then I tried to reset it to do an OS reinstall to see if it came to life but I dont think it worked.
I disconnected the network cable to try to set up a direct connection but I did not get any contact, not over the usual network either.
It has been sitting there for about 24 hours now with the power pulsating and the disk 2 led flashing, I thought that it might be rebuilding someting and I wanted to wait a while before I asked over here.
So, what to do and is my data gone for ever now? Should I power cycle and try to connect with raidar?
A couple of years raw material for my music is (maybe still) in there!
I'm very thankful for any help!
Regards
Daniel, Sweden

- Try power cycling the unit. If it is still not detected by RAIDar open a tech support case (see the Online Submission link in my sig).
- Ok, after two power cyclings it appeared in Raidar but the dot is blue and I cant configure or enter the interface. After a minute or so it disappeared again and Raidar showed no units even when I press Rescan.
Update: Did the firmware reinstall again and now I can sort of access it, the web interface is buggy and the dot in Raidar is orange but it shows my shares! Now I'm getting a backup disk and try to copy everything and start over with fresh disks!
