V4.2.28 firmware update failure
Re your email update notification 11 November 2015 All attempts to 'upload and verify' (local from your download) fail. I have A ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 Current firmware 4.1.14 Please advise
Hello DrawsACircle,
You need to unzip the folder then you will see 2 files inside. Release notes (HTML) and the firmware file. Use the firmware file, upload it to the NAS via FrontView.
Regards,
I don't recall unzipping the other files - been a while since 4.2.27 - it works :-)
Hello DrawsACircle,
I downloaded the firmware myself just today and it appears to be a ZIP file, unzipped it and found 2 files, the release notes and the actual firmware file.
Regards,
Stephen B - Yes I do use ReadyDNLA, I don't know how to use SSH etc, am just a basic user, my Pro 4 is at home and currently is at
2498 GB (45%) of 5543 GB used
Additional 10 GB reserved for snapshotsJennC - I have used Firefox and Edge, I have also downloaded the Netgear update several times just in case it was a download corruption
Stephen B .......................................you are a star Sir!!!!
Cleared my logs, update validated, processed and now running V4.2.28
Thank you so much, but what can I do about my OS partion issue (if there is one) ?

If you are ok with enabling ssh, then do that You'd install the x86 add-on here: http://www.readynas.com/?p=4203. Then (with windows) you'd use a program called putty to access the NAS (a free download). The user is root, the password is the admin password of the NAS.
From there, there are two simple commands to probe OS partition use.
df . -h
df . -i
You'd report back the output here, and then we'll see if there is still a problem.
Your other options:
(a) pay Netgear for per-incident support, and have them log in remotely and fix it
(b) hope a netgear person here offers to log in remotely (which sometimes happens)
(c) back up the data, do a factory reset, and rebuild the NAS and reload the data
With (a) I'd wait a bit and see if you see any other symptoms. That would include settings not sticking, and the NAS disconnecting from the network.
Also, if you run ReadyDLNA there is a toggle add-on that can shift your DLNA cache to the data volume. That often helps with a filling partition. Let me know if that applies, and I can try to hunt down the link for you.

Manual downloads have always been zipped, and you need to unzip before you install.
Check-for-updates obviously just works, so you could wait for it to show up there.
