- vandermerweMasterI see you were running OS6 previously with some addons. Did this start when you installed 6.2?
Do you have a backup?
Does raidar see the nas?
Were you still using jbod as you said in another thread?
I would power down and test the disks using vendor tools first, although this doesn't sound like a disk problem.
I think there have been reports of users having problems with OS6.2 on legacy hardware when they have addons.
I see that your attention was drawn to the implications of using OS6 on legacy hardware. You may be heading for another factory default. - dhih93AspirantHi vandermerwe,
Yeah, so a legacy model, tweaked for OS6. Failed after an automatic update. After a month of messing around I saw last night that 6.2.2 was available.
I upgraded to this an boom, all back to normal! I've tried to log in today and it's back to the old offline message.
I don't have back up, though in the process of getting a 4TB external for this purpose. All the data was there for the brief time I had it back up and running.
Raidar does see the NAS and yes just using JBOD.
Interestingly, I noticed when I went to re-launch the Plex app it gave me a fail message. I uninstalled it and re installed it and launched OK. So I'm starting think there may be a conflict with Plex?! - StephenBGuru - Experienced Userplex survived my upgrade to 6.2.2 (running on my RN102)
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredDo you have SSH enabled?
If not it would be a good idea to enable this so some troubleshooting can be done if you see the "Device is Offline" error message again.
