ReadyNAS NV+ v1 - no browser access, no share access

[StephenB]

Now that the OS partition isn't full, you could try doing another OS reinstall, and see if that gets you past the boot up issue.

Then the best approach to backup the files is to copy the shares from Windows.  That is actually faster than mounting a USB disk in the NV+.

The puzzle is getting past the login issue.  Have you tried admin as the username (and the NAS admin password)?  It's not clear if the OS reinstall took, if it did than you'd need to use netgear1 as the password.

Have you listed the accounts on the system (cat /etc/passwd)?

That script that alerts you about root size - if you could share it I would be very thankful. Please... 🙂

It doesn't actually alert you.  It creates a log file zip, and then writes that with rsync to a different NAS.  There is more on this here:

• https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/Script-for-making-remote-NAS-diagno...

In the case of the NV+, the script that actually builds the log zip file is 90_CreateLogs. The log zip includes the OS usage (disk_usage.log). This is a script Netgear autogenerates on my own NV+ (copied while it was creating the zip file).

Thanks for the idea of reinstalling the O/S. Yes, the netgear1 password works with root, as I am now using scp to offload files from the NV+ into Windows and that is the password I am using. But reinstalling might be a good try to get things working again. Anyway, scp is less "pita" than I feared. Before re-installing the O/S I will see if I can do a "usermod" for admin and see where it gets me. Will keep you posted. 

Thanks for the scripts! I will study them thoroughly, to see what I can learn from them.

I have tried to reinstall the O/S, but the result was the same as before. Still no access to shares, although the shares were listed in Windows explorer. A change was there in the meaning that I also could see the USB disk, but again... no access. No username/password combination could make it work.

The scp in tech support mode seemed to work, but it was slooooow - and the file creation dates got changed to corrent date and time. Not what I wanted. So scp was out of question for the moment.

As I could not figure out how to mount the USB disk in tech support mode, I decided to go for the "boot" path where I could see that the USB disk got mounted. They I decided to play around with /etc/rc3.d or /etc/rc5.d (I did not know whether the system actually entered rl 3 or 5.) I added the links to /etc/init.d/ssh to both rc3.d and rc5.d to see whether I got what I wanted - and it worked!

nas2:/USB_HDD_1# ls -l /etc/rc5.d
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           18 Jan 30 12:15 S10sysklogd -> ../init.d/sysklogd
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           17 Jan 30 12:15 S11hotplug -> ../init.d/hotplug
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Jan 30 12:15 S11klogd -> ../init.d/klogd
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           17 Aug 18  2015 S14mysql -> /etc/init.d/mysql
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Jan 30 12:15 S20exim -> ../init.d/exim
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Jan 30 12:15 S20inetd -> ../init.d/inetd
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Jan 30 18:43 S20ssh -> /etc/init.d/ssh

So now I had ssh running and a system with all the shares and USB disk mounted. 

nas2:/USB_HDD_1# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc1             1.9G  554M  1.3G  28% /
tmpfs                  16k     0   16k   0% /USB
/dev/c/c              2.7T  2.4T  351G  88% /c
/dev/sda1             931G  867M  930G   1% /USB/USB_HDD_1

I installed winscp on my windows machine and actually offload files simultaneously in two different ways:

• by winscp (and it does not change file creation dates)
• by direct copy to USB disk and it's quite fast, by my expectations.

The next step will be to figure out how to dump metadata from my mySQL database into text file(s) and then to re-initialize the NV+ to factory setup.

I wouldn't try to get the metadata out of Netgear's SQL database, it's simplest to just reconfigure the NAS from scratch. The boot issue is likely due to damaged config files, so you need to reconfigure anyway.
