ReadyNAS OS 6.9.1 F/W Update GUI Access + USB Drive issues
I've (unforunately) updated to OS 6.9.1 and seem to have lost access to the Web GUI...just loads "Connecting to the ReadyNAS Admin Page..." then "ReadyNAS Admin Page is offline....". I have also ...
GUI access was fixed after several shutdown-reboots, not sure why. The new file system changes affected the USB drive access, and re-enabling SMB + AFP fixed the issue.
It would be interesting to know what size these OS's take. Do OS updates even check for existing space prior to install?
"Volume root is 100.00% full" = root drive is full, so likley corrupted/corrupting the OS. I've had that issue before, the root drive would need to be cleaned up and find out whats filling it to self maintain it correctly.
The OS partition is 4 GB, and normally is only about 25% full (e.g, ~1 GB). Some incorrectly written apps (or ill-advised manual installs) can fill it up, and if there are a lot of errors flooding the logs, then that can also fill it.

Exactly. Netgear can do that remotely quite efficiently.
If you have ssh enabled and have reasonable linux skills you could do it on your own. Though if you accidently did damage, Netgear support probably wouldn't help, so you'd need to do a factory reset.
I am a basic user. I remember I enabled SSH but now is asking me for a user and I do not remember any. I tried admin/password, they didn't work. Factory reset is not what I want if I lost my data. Can I mount that disk and try to get data from any app?
You use root as the username; the password is the NAS admin password. Try your old NAS admin password if password doesn't work.

I didn't suggest a factory reset. I said that if you messed it up, Netgear support wouldn't help you. So you'd end up losing data (having no option except a factory reset).

I'm not sure what disk you are talking about. If you get in with ssh, you'd then need to clean the OS partition and try rebooting.
Not it didn't work root user and default password or any. :) . Please don't misunderstood me I just worry for my data.
