[RN102] Memory test not working?
Hi, I'd like to check the memory of my unit to help diagnose some corruption issue. I followed the instructions at https://kb.netgear.com/22892/How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-10...
Thank you both for your help. I could never get the memory test to run, but I'm pretty sure memory is the issue anyway:
- I'm noticing severe and nearly systematic file corruption (when transferred via smb)
- The web interface of the NAS won't load half the time. Each HTTP request seem to have a chance to be responded to with garbled text and/or chunks of random memory
- Facory reset / os reinstall won't solve the problem (I'm amazed they even work given the above)
- Disk test passed ("Disk test completed for volume data" after 7h30 hours)
It seems to me that the benefits of using btrfs in a RAID1 configuration with checksum and bit rot protection are somewhat lost without ECC memory.
I'll mark the thread as resolved.
