ReadyNAS NV+ failed downloading logs
My long-running lightly used/loaded NV+ has been powered-down for 6+ months while I was away for the summer, and upon successful startup I first DL'ed a CONFIG file, and then I decided to download th...
To summarize, I discovered that while my ReadyNAS was not booting to completion, during the quotacheck and/or Check FS process it WAS talking on the network and accepting SSH logins. So while it still was "Booting..." and busy w/those I was able to log-on and to look-around var/log/ and var/log/frontview and var/log/frontview/backup and delete some large log files which amazingly solved the problem. Back to normal now w/no issues.
Thanks to StephenB and Sandshark for helping to assuage my anxiety through this process. Except that the NV+ normally just works day-in and day-out I'd be better at troubleshooting the thing!!!

I'd test the disks next (I do that in a Windows PC, using vendor tools - Seatools for Seagate, and either Lifeguard or Dashboard for WDC). Label by slot as you remove them, so you can restore them to the proper spot.
Thanks, but if they test-out OK, what would be next do you think?
I have read a number of threads here on "Booting..." and "logs full" and am disappointed simply downloading the system log could cause the RND4000 to lose its mind. I think mine is only half loaded so it's not a "disks too full" problem, not to mention that the thing has been completely powered-OFF for 7 months, before which it worked fine.
Indeen I'm inclined at this point to start-over from scratch if I can figure that out, since the last thing I did before powering-off last May was to make a backup.
