Where are the firmware release notes?
I have a ReadyNAS 3138 that crashed today. When I couldn't ping it I checked on the device, which is in a server room behind a locked door, and it was just off. When I started up, I had no error me...
go here @ https://www.netgear.com/support/download/
type in readynas
select os 6
near the bottom of the right column, there is a down arrow to expand to show the older versions and their release links back to firmware 6.4.2.
Hi mdgm:
When I visit the "Logs" page on the ReadyNAS it doesn't give me a lot of information. Prior to the crash, there had been no log entry here for 5 days (and the last one was "Resyncing".
Then, after we discovered the ReadyNAS was off, we turned it on, and the next log entries were:
| Thu Jul 13 2017 2:50:57 | System: ReadyNASOS background service started. | |
| Thu Jul 13 2017 2:50:56 | System: ReadyNASOS service or process was restarted |
However, when I use the "Download Logs" function, I get a zip file with a ton of logs. I picked through all these looking for events that are timestamped in the hour or so before the crash. The ones that seem most relevant are kernel.log, systemd-journal.log, system.log, and readynasd.log.
Reviewing these, I can tell that:
The NAS has been behaving pretty well up until yesterday.
Yesterday it rebooted at the following times:
July 13 - 02:50:48
July 13 - 08:21:51
July 13 - 21:30:11
July 14 - 02:17:02
But in every case, the logs don't provide anything useful because:
- The prior log entry, before the reboot, was different for each of the above events.
- The prior log entry, before the reboot, was hours before the above event
Here are some examples of my logs:
