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 drives and a message; Booting... Checking root FS.
I've left the unit in this state overnight and from what I've read in other threads, it appears that this is not right. The check should only take minutes.
I've tried OS Reinstall, which appears to only have reset all of the unit settings, as the ethernet bond is now showing as two ip addresses. Iw ould like ot avoid a Factory Default and wiipe the drives if possible. I have a about 80% of the data backup up, and would like to try and recover the remaining data if possible. Also I dont want to go through the hassle of restoring everything unless I have to.
Is there any way to skip the FS check? Failing that, is there anyway to mount my drives so that I can recover what i need from them?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
It's all,sorted with huge thanks to mdgm who has reinstalled the OS on the unit.

I dont agree on closing this. I have said many times in this thread that the NAS itself is having issues. My NAS keeps becoming unresponsive and it is really starting to piss me off. All this money people put into these and it cant stay up for a single day without issues. I cant seem to find any logs to figure this out and when I click on my power button, it responds and shows my ip address on the front panel. If i force it off it restarts and works just fine. I will leave it in this mode for the next hour and if someone is around and wants to remote in to see what is going on i will keep checking back. You cant tell me that it is because I have too many apps on my NAS. If two apps is too many, then ill go buy a different NAS.
