ReadyNAS NV+ stuck "Booting..."
Yesterday my ReadyNAS powered itself off. After a power up I see with Raidar that it completes the file system check, but then never becomes operational. It disappears from Raidar and the LCD display...

The system wouldn't boot due to a failed attempt to download the logs (there were some very large log files). The problem is now fixed.

You might have a bad disk.
You could power off the NAS, remove your disks (label order) and hook them up to your PC and test them using vendor tools e.g. use SeaTools to test SeaGate disks.

Thanks for that. Do you happen to know if the disk test on the boot menu will indicate if I have a failing disk ?

The disk test boot menu option is not available on the v1. It is available on the v2.
Looking at your profile you have a v1: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/- a904044Mar 04, 2016Aspirant
OK, thanks. I'll check the menu when I get home anyway.
