ReadyNas NV+ "Kernel Panic"

Do you have a backup? Also, was there anything you might have done that resulted in this behavior? If you have a scratch disk (whether approved or not), you can power down the NAS and remove the drives (recording the slot order). Then insert the scratch disk and power up. If the hardware is functional, it will do a factory install. If all that works, then shut it down and reinstall the original disks in the correct slots. You could also try powering up the NAS w/o disk 1 (but with all the rest), and see if that works. You can repeat that experiment with the other drives removed (one at a time). Be sure you have the NAS powered down when you insert/remove drives in this particular test. If that fails, you could try an OS reinstall from the front panel with all disks in place. mdgm (or others) might have some other ideas.

Hi Stephen

Thanks for reply , I have a back-up of the NAS on my secod readynas but its a bit out of date & for some reason some files would never copy across, so its there with most of my files, but not ideal.

The NV+ stuck in 'Checking Quota' for about a day I pulled the power & rebooted to find the kernel panic message.

I've performed two memory check which are O.K.

Apologies but not too sure what you mean by scratch disk, if its just a spare disk then I dont have one I'm afraid.

I'll try pulling the disks tonight & let you know how I get on.

if you can test the disks with SeaTools that could also be good.

Thanks mdgm, I've downloaded & ran SeaTools, but it doesn't seem to detect the NAS/ drives.
