unable to connect to admin page. rest is working normal
I am unable to connect to the administration page. Nothing have been changed since long time. Shares are accessible in windows, Android and media players. Website is running normal. It is given always...
- Jan 09, 2017
After some attempts to find a 2nd reason why it was not accessible. And I was unable to read or copy the error file (did not know how). I decided to reinstall the os. That did not change anything. So I cleared the whole system. And now I am putting the backup back.
Everything is now almost back as normal.
So problem solved but not the way I would like.
If my knowledge of telnet was as good as good old DOS I would investigate longer and would find and fix the problem. But telnet is way out of my comfort zone.
Thanks for your attempts to help me find the problem.

Did you get an error when you entered start_raid.sh ?
Log files are in /var/log, but you can't see that unless you can start raid and then mount the OS partition.

no error with the raid command
only with the sytemroot mounting.
after you set me to the correct path i started searching the community with different key words and i found
this :ReadyNAS-Duo-v1-Full-OS-Partition
and the correct mount for the duo v1 was
# mount /dev/hdc1 /sysroot
and for the NX in your link was
# mount /dev/md0 /sysroot
that gave the error
so i used the echo > error.log command as shown in that link. as mine was as big as in the link.
but now is the question how to unmount the sysroot and restart the nas it self
edit:
reboot worked in telnet, it just took longer then expected. shares are availible admin page still not,webserver is not availible and the torrent page is not availible. is this becouse i did not unmount the systemroot yet?

No, it should have been unmounted when you did the reboot.
Was the OS partition in fact full? It's sounding like your admin UI issue has a different cause.

There are possible side effects if the root volume is full e.g. the /etc/default/services file may be corrupted when attempts to modify it fail.
Did you check the tail of that error log before you emptied it to see if it gave any clues as to why Frontview was inaccessible?
