RN314 - Stuck on boot following firmware update
Following a pop up prompt from the web interface of my RN314 I updated the firmware. It downloaded and prompted a reboot. I clicked to reboot but after sometime it hasn't come back online - not vis...
Resolved. It eventually came back on line.
Since many folks rarely, if ever, power cycle their NAS, the restart after an OS update is often where problems are detected, having nothing to do with the update per se.
For it to take that long to boot, there may be issues. I recommend you check the SMART for all drives and run a balance and scrub. A drive test could also be a good idea.
Thanks Sandshark . The available space on the volume is low - below 20%. At some point soon I'll replace one or two of the four drives with larger ones.
With regard to those actions is there a preferred order - balance then scrub or scrub then balance? Or does it not matter?

Personally I'd make sure I had an up to date backup before doing either. But to answer your question, generally there is no preferred order - but in your specific case I'd do the scrub first.
Either way, download the log zip file and look for disk-related or btrfs related errors first.
