ReadyNAS Duo won't update with latest firmware

Hi,

I've had this problem for a while. Every time I try to upgrade the firmaware using the GUI, I eventually get a message back saying that the update failed:

Fri Oct 12 17:12:13 WEST 2012 Problem encountered while updating your ReadyNAS device.

These are the ReadyNAS details:

Model: ReadyNAS Duo [X-RAID]
Firmware: RAIDiator 4.1.6 [1.00a043]
Memory: 256 MB [2.5-3-3-7]

Other than that, everything else seems to be working fine.

Thanks

MT

  • Yep, definitely doing something now... blue light is flashing away.
  • It's done but if I hit the rescan on RAIDar it still shows 4.1.6.
  • Must go now. Pick this up later on if you have time. Appreciate all the help.

    Very odd.

    Can you do

    # cat /etc/raidiator_version
    # cat /var/log/raidiator_version
    # ls -la /


    Do you see more examples of this?:

    If I run RAIDar, I can see 4.1.6 as the version number. And yes, I still see those messages about the flash device being unknown.
