Hello Charles

Thanks for the info. I ended up trying to talk to tech support but they quickly had to escalate the case and looks like they want me to pay for help with it even though its still under warranty. I decided to just turn it unplug it and try to do a USB install of the os. That went quickly and it rebooted fine. I was able to login in and access the admin panel and noticed it started to sync the volume data. Well after about 30 min of that it gave the same error. So I just unplugged it and started plugged it back in it booted back up fine again and went back to syncing the volume data.

I though for a min and since its so underpowered system I went in and turned off all the apps I had incuding Virus-Scan and all of the services I dont really need like FTP and itunes. Its been running for 12 hours now no problem still syncing the data though. I have been able to look around the shares and copies a file off and seems to work. Both SMB and AFP are working for me. But I don't want to mess around too much till its done.

I also don't seem to have much luck with the ReadyNAS recently. Bought a RN315 to upgrade from my RN104. Got it suck a scratch drive in like what was recommended. Updated to 6.4.1 was just messing around with settings and loading apps. Rebooted the NAS and itgave me a lcd message of "mount_boot_root +1e9" and I as unable to see the device on any of my comps. Was unable to get in to the boot menu or even do a usb os install either. Tried diffrent drives also and nothing so its getting sent back. Not sure what I want to end up doing now.

Anyways thanks again for the info I will let you know how my RN104 is working after its done syncing the data in about 70 hours or so the admin page says it will take.

Hello,

I have the exact same problem. I upgraded my RN104 from 6.2.5 to 6.4.1, since I can see the same error message on the LED Screen.

When I boot it, I have access to te administration page. After some minutes, The error message appears, and I have to unplug it from AC in order to reboot it (even push the power button for long seconds doesn't work).

I think this might be a problem with Samba sharing, as the error appears earlier if I try to access the files from my Windows PC. I didn't try other services for now.

As I'm writing, I booted the NAS without network plugged in, and I don't see the error appearing. I'll investigate further. In the meantime, if you need anything from me, I'll do my best.

Regards,
Charles.

I'm having the same issue with page_address+8 on a RN 104. I would be curious if you get out of it and if you saved your data.

  Hi Angeld,
  
  Hopefully the resync will complete so you will be able to backup your data. Update this thread once done.
  
  Kind regards,

    Hello there,
    
    I have some good news about this problem. It appears I solved the issue in my case.
    As I said, i started the NAS a couple hours out of any network, and I didn't see any errors coming up. I powered it off nicely, then I restarted it with network, and since 2 days, I can use it like I used to. I have to take some time to check all the services, but, as for sharing, the issue seems resolved. I'll keep in touch if all my services are up and running.
    
    Regards,
    Charles.
