Expansion is also failing due to memory allocation

resize2fs: Memory allocation failed while trying to resize /dev/c/c

 I don't own a v2 - but if you know of a place where the amount of memory is displayed, you should check to make sure that it is seeing 256MB.

 

I also suggest a memory test from the boot menu (http://www.readynas.com/download/documentation/HM/ReadyNAS_Duov2_NV+v2_HW_en_19-Sept-11.pdf ).  Unfortunately Netgear doesn't disclose how to tell if the test passed/failed.  But you could take a short video, and post the link here, they should be able to interpret the results here.

 

Are you the original purchaser?  If so, when did you purchase?  The warrany is 3 years.  If you are still covered I think you have have enough evidence of a hardware fault that they should diagnose it w/o charge

This is the entirety of mem_info.log:

And this is memory.log:

Looks to me like it can definitely see 256MB. But now I'm going to have a go at that memory test, so at least I have the results when talking to support.
