ReadyNas Ultra 2 booting issue - CASE #18994884 - SOLVED
Hello, I seem to have a problem with my ReadyNas Ultra 2. Starting today, I was unable to access the device in any way (DLNA devices, Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer). Also, the fan was making ...
Update:
Removed both disks from the NAS and instead put in a different, empty, disk. Then performed the full factory reset. This works, meaning the ReadyNAS itself is not broken!
This would mean the issue is on the disks. Tried booting it with just one of two disks in the device (tried this with both disks), but in neither case the device boots correctly. Thus, the issue is present on both disks...
The only big question therefore is how to recover the data of both disks before doing the factory reset... I tried attaching it to a (Windows) computer with a SATA->USB adapter. Computer Management is able to see the disk and all three partitions, but not the contents of the partitions. Nor is DiskInternals' Linux Reader... this one is able to identify the three partitions as "RAID Linux" partitions, but is also unable to show the contents of the partitions.
Any thoughts?
