ReadyNas RN104 hangs 99% booting

Hi All,

 

Have readynas RN104 running 6.6.0 which stops booting at 99% - appears to be at "dovecot.service" As far as I know, I'm not running dovecot..   Root fileystem can be accessed via SSH, but system not getting as far as mounting other filesystems.

 

Does anyone have any ideas how to progress please.

 

Cheers

    Perhaps try stopping and disabling that service?

     

    Probably something like

     

    # systemctl stop dovecot
    # systemctl disable dovecot

      Hi there,

       

      Tried deleteing the service, but now hanging on fvbackup-q.service. My suspicion is that there's something more fundamentally wrong.

       

      I've another NAS that I'm using to back up fresh data, but would really like to acess my multimedia, which took weeks to digitise.

       

      Tbh, if I could get rsyncd and my encrypted primary raid1 disks mounted, I could rsync the data accross and do a factory reset, but am unsure about the process for that.

       

      Cheers

        Perhaps boot to volume read-only then try updating to 6.7.1 Beta
