RN31400 booting continuously
Hi all,
Up until recently the RN31400 had been working fine and then when I needed to move it and shut it down, it hung on shutdown. The boot process takes forever and will complete 1 out of every 10 reboots - even then it will only respond very slowly when querying the top level folders and will then timeout. It boots VERY slowly and will often get stuck on 99%. I performed a disk check and all was ok.
I have attempted to do an OS reinstall. Nada.
I believe the logs files / backups are causing it to have issues so if I could get in there and clear those then I believe it would be ok.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: RN31400 booting continuously
You can look into your suspicions from tech support mode (a boot menu option) as has been discussed in numerous other threads.

What firmware are you running?

Are you saying that you couldn't do the install? Or that it didn't help?

Have you tried to download the log zip file? If you have, then was that successful?
If you have a current log zip file, then you can see the fullness of the OS partition. Open volume.log and scroll down to the df -h section
=== df -h === Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 10M 4.0K 10M 1% /dev /dev/md0 4.0G 1.1G 2.7G 29% / tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.9G 7.5M 1.9G 1% /run tmpfs 962M 17M 945M 2% /run/lock tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
The /dev/md0 line shows the fullness of the OS partition. Normally it is about 25% full.

Re: RN31400 booting continuously
I'm running 6.10.4.
I managed to get the device back up and running and one of the drives had died. I replaced the drive, but also noticed in the admin portal it said (and still says) remove inactive volumes to use the disk - also saying No volume exists. NETGEAR recommends that you create a volume before configuring other settings.
This was working fine 2 days ago and when I connect to the device via (uncached) smb I can see all my folders there, just can't go a sub level.

Re: RN31400 booting continuously
If no volume is mounted, then the files aren't really there (even if the shares are still exported for some reason).
If you have a backup of the NAS, then the simplest solution is to do a factory default, reconfigure the NAS, and restore the data from backup.
You can also contact paid netgear support - they might be able to remount the volume (and they do offer a data recovery service if that is needed).

Re: RN31400 booting continuously
Just to close this out.
I contacted Netgear support and there was an issue with one of the disks in the array. Replacement disk did not kick off resync. Data was recovered and then a factory reset was performed.
Device working as expected now. Again, thanks to all for their suggestions.
