Readynas Ultra 2 stuck on booting

Hello,

 

Since a couple of days, my Ultra 2 Nas show me an corrupt root error.

 

I tried several times to factory reset and os reinstall but it didn't worked : after reboot i always got an corrupt root error.

 

I checked hdd but nothing, there are in good condition. I removed 1 hdd but nothing changed. I also tried to boot with usb recovery without success (different brands of thumbdrives)

 

In my log i can see

 

cat /var/log/frontview/initrd.log
[2015/08/24 20:58:08] Could not properly extract root image!
[2015/08/24 20:58:08] Updated from RAIDiator 4.2.27 to 4.2.27.

 Looks like some files are corrupted in installed firmware. What can i do to solve that ? Thanks

  • Hello JennC,

     

    My problem has been remotely solved by 'mdgm' and to conclude : There was a corrupted file on the internal flash.

    Hello ozlard,

     

    Here are steps we often do with cases like this.

     

    • Factory reset with both disks inserted then try install again.
    • Remove one of disks leaving one disk inserted, factory reset. If same problem remove the 1st disk you left inserted and insert the one you removed then try again
    • Use diagnostic tools to check the disks diagnostic tools.
    • If you have a spare disk, test it with the NAS too.
    • USB boot recovery

     

    If same results after all these, contact support center

     

    Regards,
