ReadyNAS Duo V2 boot issues
Hi, I have Duo V2 with 5.x firmwarewith 2x2tb WD drives It has been working fine for past 5-6 years. but last week it said 'corrupt root' upon lookng up, i tried restore and os restore. bot...
Start by testing the drives in a Windows PC with WD's Lifeguard software. I recommend running both the non-destructive extended test, and the full destructive "write zeros" test.
If both drives pass these tests, then put them back in the NAS and power it up. The NAS should then do a factory install (no need to use the boot menu, since the disks are blank).
