What causes a 'Failed Writing!' error in tftp??
Upon trying to use tftp to install Raidiator 3.x by renaming Raidiator 3 to Raidiator 4, Raidar tells me 'Failed Writing!', even though the tftp log says everything is transmitted and sent etc. That i...
I'm replying to this in case anyone else attempts to search here in futility for the answer, as I did.
I don't know what causes it, but I had the exact same program, and opening Raidar (annoying, as, of course, I had the ReadyNAS 600 hooked up to an old system, directly, to do the crap with 192.168.125.1).
My eventual solution, since I couldn't get ANY firmware to work via tftp, was to yank the CF card (I took whole unit apart; I needed have; little plate with two screws near bottom leads directly to it...), toss in a card reader, and use NTRawrite to copy the older firmware to CF card.
Then, with CF card back in ReadyNAS, applied power, with paper clip in 'secret' spot... for way way more than 5 seconds, until the very first steady blink... after which, Raidar (after displaying 'file system check') showed the old version 3, and allowed me to log in.
As I type this, I'm not sure if my data's still there, but at least mine's no longer a brick.
