Readynas Ultra 2 - Raid is Dead
I have a Readynas Ultra 2 that's just over three years old. It's got two 3TB WD Red drives in it that are less than 6 months old (recently upgraded the drives). When I couldn't access the shares ...
Likely this is your problem: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Backing-up-to-your-ReadyNAS/Crashplan-JRE-update-needed/m-p/985781#M10762
Do you still have ssh access to the NAS?
There is discussion in the thread StephenB linked to on how to resolve it.
Thanks. I saw the link after I posted my last comment and started going down that road. I'm able to put the Readynas into tech support mode so that I can telnet into it, but I can't login. The default admin login/password isn't working, nor is the password for the admin account that I have set. Neither is the account I usually use to login via SSH (and that has sudo authority).
I've done some googling, but I've only come across other posts that say to google for the password, none that actually contain the password (except for the manual which has the default admin username/password that aren't working).
Is there a different telnet password? Where would I find it?
Thanks!
I did some quick google searches and it was in the top 5 results.
We don't encourage users to use this mode.
Note that if you do find the credentials and use them there are the same support implications as for using root SSH.I've been able to get in via telnet and delete the Crashplan temporary files. I was then able to reboot and the Readynas is back up and running. I was able to re-enable the CIFS service and access my shares, other services (like Plex) are back up and running too. So, all good there.
[Edit: I do have SSH working]
I'm trying to follow the instructions to update Java, but it references placing files in the "backup" share. I don't have a backup share. Should I just create one via Frontview?
Thanks!

That would work. Linux is of course case-sensitive, so keep the name lower case. (I was able to use the add-on to update java, and my share is named "backup").
