Technical challenge for RNDU4000 Ultra 4 (#16372263)

While I can understand that it might help if there was a "wipe disks and reinstall O/S Y/N" option, I'm not sure how it would be activated from the unit. Kind of like the early days of IBM/MS-DOS when at the C:> prompt you could enter the command FORMAT and hit ENTER and it would format the system drive. So they added a Y/N option and people still formatted the system drive by not paying attention. I did format some else's hard drive when I entered FORMAT intending to add A: to format a diskette. They asked me a question, I stopped, turned and answered their question, then turned back and hit ENTER. Fortunately the only thing on the drive was the OS. Stuff happens and that is why we pound the drum for backup, backup, backup. Never EVER trust any critical or important data to only one device.

Here is a story about catastrophic loss to drive it home.

For future reference, if you have static IP addresses on a NAS (as I do on all three of mine) then reset it back to dynamic before moving it, or not the IP address reported on the front panel, and manually set a PC to the same subnet and direct connect it to the NAS to gain access and reset the IP to dynamic.
