ReadyNAS Duo v1 stuck in a boot loop....
My ReadyNAS Duo seems to have some kind of problem. Running 4.1.12. Shares a UPS with my NV+ v2, which is running just fine. It has got itself stuck into some kind of boot loop. It tries to st...
I have this evening managed to restart the device. I did that (as before) by removing the right hand drive in the chassis and rebooting with an OS reinstall.
Two things. First I got the logs off the machine. The file was about 1.5Mb in zipped form. All I could find in it that looked in any way odd were two files httpd_access and httpd_errors which were respectively 2.5Mb and 3.5Mb (unzipped). The backup job logs were about 12Mb (unzipped).
Having got the machine back up, I put the other drive back in the chassis, expecting it to start up, format and go into mirror. However it hasn't. I can hear the drive start to spin up, then after a second or so it makes a squeak. The drive stops spinning up, waits 4 sec then tries again. This sounds like a dead drive, to me?
The odd thing is that I've checked the disk SMART test log and it comes out fine.
One other thing, in case it gives a clue - I noticed that the power supply was running very hot. Any particular likely cause of that?
