ReadyNAS RN104 frozen during disk balance
Hi All, Having significant issues with my ReadyNAS RN104 after manually running a disk balance. ReadyNAS RN104 Firmware 6.10.4 (had only just updated to this version) 3x 3TB WD Red hard drives...
StephenB thanks heaps for the reply and suggestions.
A bad decision indeed to not perform backups.
RAIDar cannot see the device.
I'm not sure if SSH was enabled. If its enabled as factory default then it would be enabled still. I didn't ever disable anything from factory other than iTunes server perhaps.
I downloaded Putty to try an SSH connection but its not able to connect. I expect however its due to me not knowing how to use SSH command line. I attempted to use the connection wizard which is part of the standalone putty windows executable.
Therefore I must move onto force rebooting. Would you advise to try a regular reboot and see what happens or should I specifically try to boot in read only mode in the very first instance?
Do you happen to know if cloud backup options exist when booting in read-only mode? I.e. will the web interface be exactly as I am used to?
Many thanks once again.

Read-only mode ensures that the NAS won't try to "repair" any damage. Attempts to repair could actually hurt, so I'd recommend booting up initially into read-only mode.

The web ui will be normal, but you probably won't be able to enable any new services. The best way to back up the pictures is to copy them over the network to a PC (perhaps to a USB drive).
As far as SSH goes, it is not enabled by default.
