ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus Stuck at "Booting..."
I had recently updated the firmware to the last available as I wanted to make sure I was up-to-date before I replaced a dead drive. The firmware update appeared to take and booted normally. A few day...
What happens if you enter http://192.168.1.10/admin in your browser address bar?
Also, what happens if you enter \\192.168.1.10 into Windows File Explorer?
It might be worth powering down again, removing disk 1, and seeing if the system boots normally.
If the resync is proceeding with RAID-5, disk 3 must be still alive (though it might be failing). Of course RAID-6 (dual redundancy) can survive two failed disks.
Let us know if the resync works.
The system was reporting Disk 3 as dead, but when resyncing of Disk 1 completed it showed back up as OK.
The system is in X-RAID2 (so I think that's RAID-5), but so far the volume appears to be intact.
After Disk 1 finished resyncing, I removed Disk 3 to run a scan and Fix All on it with Seatools and it's now at 80% resyncing Disk 3. Once that is finished I have a fresh new drive that I will replace Disk 1 with since it was the first to fail. Once I can confirm that the new drive is functioning, I'll be ordering a replacement for Disk 3 as well. I'll probably be ordering replacements for Disks 2 and 4 also, since all the drives were bought around the same time and it seems they are all starting to fail somewhat, even if it just seems to be bad sectors cropping up, at least this will buy me a little more time.
