RN104 stuck on Booting after firmware upgrade
3 Days ago I installed firmware 6.9.3 on my RN104. I was in the other room. After about an hour on not being able to access my NAS, I went and saw on the LCD "Boot from USB Failed!". So thanks so muc...
I just spent a couple hours completely taking the NAS apart, cleaned, put back together. It wasn't very dusty, and the backup button did not appear stuck. However, I put it all back together, and surprisingly it seems to be working fine now. :)
For what it is worth, this past week, I have been moving everything from my NAS Boxes to my Server.
I have 2 ReadyNAS 104 boxes, both with 4x3TB Drives in ( all WD RED ) plus I alos have 2 DLINK 320B NAS Boxes, bothwith 2x2TB in, one with Hitachi and the other with Seagate.
The Netgears were both setup with 2x3TB as one in RAID and the other 2 as seperates. Now, they are simply going to be acting as backup to the Server's DATA Drives.
Now, when I reset my first NAS, it went through just fine and I was ok with it, however the second one seemed to be trapped like yours, in some infinite loop? I reset it a few times, ( I think 3 times? ) and it finally got itself all sorted out.
I dont know why this was, but I do know, that even though both my Netgear 104's are completely empty, and I have them setup both as one single drive in RAID5, they are in a RE-SYNCING sort of loop now, that is getting on my nerves...
Whats it SYNCing with? And why is it taking days to SYNC with nothing?
Is yours now doing that?
