RND4000v2 - RND4000 NV+ v2 - Readynas Wont Switch On Boot Up
Hello All, I am hoping for some guidance here. I have a Readynas NV+ v2 that wont switch on or boot up. The power supply has a green light indicator on the inline transformer brick and there...

Lets be clear too, that the main aim is to get the data off that's required from the drives. Configured as Flex Raid. 4 disks and single hard drive redundancy.
It should be possible to mount the RAID array manually in an x86 linux system.
You can also use RAID recovery software in a PC - R-Studio would work. You'd want the $79.99 version.
Note you can see if the software can access your data before purchase.

It seems to be able to find lots of credible file names but I cannot load or read the content and the log file shows this MFT error.
`unexpected MFT record ...` and ending `... check raid for consistence`
This is odd, as MFT is the Master File Table for NTFS - and your NAS disks aren't using NTFS. Did you purchase the correct version of R-Studio? (You don't want R-Studio NTFS or R-Studio FAT).
Thanks StephenB - I have checked and I do not have the NTFS or FAT version of R-Studio - as far as I can tell I have the "vanilla" version. The NAS drive had been used to backup the contents of 2 x Windows Server 2008 R2 using a backup utility called Backup Assist - and have over the years successfully backed and restored to/from the NAS. How this was stored on the ReadyNas I don't know.
I have just initiated another R-Studio Auto Scan scan of the NAS disks and am "patiently" waiting for it to complete its work. đ

The NV+ v2 NAS uses software RAID (a linux package called mdadm), with the linux ext file system. It doesn't matter how the files got there.
I'm a bit surprised to hear that R-Studio support doesn't know the parameters you need.

Good to know. FWIW, I think there is only one download - and that the features you get depend only on the license you purchased.
