ReadyNAS NV+, FrontView Admin Page is not rendering correctly
Hi all, As you can see above, FrontView is not displaying properly and is unusable. I've tried Safari, Firefox, and Chrome on macOS Big Sur as well as Safari using iOS 14.5 I can acces...

It might work a bit better if you can get the latest firmware update to 4.1.16. You can do this via SSH if you have that enabled or you could try and find an old version of a web browser to do it. Seeing this NAS hasn't had firmware updates for years now it'll only become harder to maintain it from a modern client PC/Mac.

Hi mdgm. Thanks for the reply. I was also thinking that and I read other posts that suggest SSH. I only have a vague idea of what that is though and I'm unsure if I have it enabled on the NAS. First I will try setting up an old (2010ish) mac mini and see if I can get something better from there.
I'll report back.
Thanks again, Sheldon.

It's been a long time since I ran an NV+, but I did see that kind of display when one of the configuration files was corrupted. An OS re-install fixed it. But if the corruption is a result of an overfull OS partition, then an OS re-install isn't usually a good idea. I donm't know if an overfull OS partition is as common on RAIDiator 4.1.x as OS6 -- I don't recall it coming up here nearly as often, even though the partition is even smaller.

SandsharkThanks for the reply. I don't know my OS partition is overfull, but I did an OS re-install yesterday without success. I'd like to avoid a complete factory reset if possible. Do you have any more ideas?
Thanks, Sheldon.

Frontview is working correctly now. Thanks for helping.
The solution was emptying the netatalk.log log file that filled the 2GB OS partition. The netatalk service is used for AFP and Time Machine.
