Readynas NV+ V1 - Mounting OS partition in support mode
Hi All, I'm a newbie to the forum but just wanted a definitive answer on whether it's possible to mount the OS partition from telnet support mode to clear up suspected problem log files. Alternativ...
I ran across this post and almost back in the running. For some reason, my nv+, although pingable, could not ssh or get to my shares.
I am not sure what went wrong, so I telnet via tech support method. I was very happy to see all of my data still sitting there. I did the /bin/start_raid.sh and did the mount.
What do I need to do to figure out what I need in order to get the system booting normal. Like the OP, I am doing RAID-X, so I was not able to chroot or get samba running.
Also, is there a way to enable telnet so I can reboot and then telnet with normal credentials or do I have to use tech support mode?

You could install EnableRootSSH (if you have not already) via the GUI after the problem is fixed. Using SSH has the same support implications as using telnet mode. Support may be unable to help e.g. if their opinion is that you may have messed things up using it.
Enabling telnet in normal mode wouldn't be a good idea as SSH is much more secure. We use telnet for local access to a NAS in telnet mode as with that low level diagnostic mode we want to be able to connect in as many different situations as possible. Telnet is great for that.
Flex-RAID uses a custom mdconfig on Sparc (different to mdadm but uses md devices) but most users would use X-RAID.
You can check for a full OS partition using df and use e.g. du to see where the problem is.
Both of these commands are available on the OS partition.
