ReadyNAS Pro 6 Checking root FS
Hi, I have a small issue with my ReadyNAS Pro 6 running OS6.4.0. Until recently it has been runnning fine. However, when the unit was booted up yesterday it shows the squares for each of the six...
It's all,sorted with huge thanks to mdgm who has reinstalled the OS on the unit.
Which firmware are you running?
I am on OS 6.4.1 and it was running fine up until Sunday morning. I woke up and noticed that I could not get into my NAS, I then powered it off and when it came back up, I was in this state of Booting..... Checking root FS
I have been down since then and cannot get into my NAS.I tried an OS Reinstall even and nothing, it just boots up to the Booting... Checking root FS. All of my drives are blank as well.
When I get home I was going to call NetGear Support as I need to get this fixed and then I will have the serial number.
Ah, so in your case did you run into this problem on an OS6 NAS e.g. 316/516, rather than on a legacy NAS e.g. Pro 6?
The system getting stuck at this point suggests a problem with the 4GB root FS.
