RN316 | Won't start up | 6.7.0 Problems I assume
Hi all, So what do I do now? My RN316 does not come up after a reboot. Have been running 6.7 for a while, but I suspect this was the "first reboot". Upon powering up it gets to around 28%...

Thanks.
Am wondering why that was checked...
Anyway, it's gone.
Was able to upgrade to 6.7.1.
Trick was to refresh home page which them said that 6.7.1 was loaded and would be installed on next reboot.
Or perhaps the trick was that I stopped the scrub first.
In any case 6.7.1 is running, and the boot is substantially quicker than before!
Thanks all.

So I can do that from "Read-Only" mode?
Can I wait for 6.7.1?
Is there an ETA for it? 1 week? 1 month?

In volume read-only mode the data volume is read-only, not the root volume.
If you can't access the GUI you could go to https://ip.address.of.nas/fwbroker
Yes, you can wait for the production release if you want.
We hope it will be ready soon but as for an ETA providing one can lead to disappointment if it the ETA is not met.

I've worked in IT for over 30 years, so I used to disappointment :catlol:
Ummm... otherwise, can I delete the snapshots whilst in read-only mode.
In my case I have 12TB of data and 21GB of snapshots which I do not really need.
Is there something I should be configuring in read-only mode reagrding the quotas?
TIA

You could try an OS Re-install on 6.7 as that will disable quotas on the volume. However if you change share settings that will re-enable quotas on the volume (there's a fix for this in 6.7.1).

Hi all!
Now that 6.7.1 has been released what would you recommend as a course of action? I have not rebooted RN316 since I restarted it in Read-only Volume mode,
- Just upgrade from 6.7.0 to 6.7.1 (I assume that is possible when in the read-only volume mode) and reboot.
Or do I need to do something special first like:
- Remove snapshots (which I really do not care about).
- Upgrade from 6.7.0 to 6.7.1
I am not sure why I was bitten by 6.7.0. I never created/modified any shares so not sure why quotas came into play. Unless it was snapshot related.
ALSO SHOULD I WAIT UNTIL IT'S PUBLICLY AVAILABLE. SO WHEN IT IS DETECTED BY MY RN316? IS IT OFFICIALLY RELEASED AND AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE? Or is it currently using a "soft launch" in case other problems manifest themselves?
Just interested in what's the best course of action for me to take now.
