ReadyNAS NVX web interface no longer works in Windows 10
Hi, I recently fired up my ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition to set up some new backup jobs after a period of many months of inactivity. The system booted up ok and performed an FS check successfully...

Hi Phil, I think he means is the data is that is on the readynas backed up somewhere?
Since you indicate that the readynas itself is a backup for another server, you may want to consider making an up to date backup on a different device, if possible. External drive or another server for example, if you don't have an additional dedicated backup nas.
you might try using a different computer to see if the web admin works on a physically different computer, just to rule out something specific to your desktop.
Alternatively, if you have the resources you could try running a virtual windows 7 machine (or even a linux VM) using either hyper-v or virtualbox.
You may want to do some google research on windows 10 and virtual machines if you decided to go this route.

Hi StephenB,
Thanks for the manual link - I will try this when I have time this weekend.
The screwy interface unfortunate won't let me view the logs, however, I just tried logging via a terminal session and so checked space there:
{nas-A9-9D-92:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0 4.0G 539M 3.3G 14% /
tmpfs 16K 0 16K 0% /USB
/dev/c/c 5.5T 4.3T 1.3T 78% /c}
I have access to a Linux command prompt so maybe there's something I can do to fix this issue. I found some log files in /var/log but I am really not sure what to look for.
I suspect that I could copy the OS update direct to the NAS now, and place it in whatever directory it expects to find it.
Thank you for your help!
Phil

Your OS partition is not full, which is good.
An OS reinstall might not help, but it should do no harm. You can do this from the console with touch /.os_update If you do it from the console, the admin password and network configuration shouldn't be changed.

That does an OS extraction not a full OS Re-install.
Yes it is possible to update the firmware via SSH.
# cd /tmp# wget URL
# echo /tmp/RAIDiator-x86-4.2.30 > /.cf_update_in_progress
Of course if the download is zipped you would need to unzip it e.g. using the unzip command.
Then you'd reboot the NAS.

Hi again - thanks for the new info.
As you suspected StephenB, the update I managed to perform using mdgm's steps didn't resolve the issues I am having with the web frontend.
One other thing that occured to me as potentially relevant is the fact that, since I used this NAS successfully last, I have changed my ISP to one whose default IP address range is 192.168.1 rather than 192.168.0 that I was using the NAS ok with. I'm no network wizard so this might be irrelevant!
Does anyone have any idea what I can try next?
Thank you ;)

Is your backup of your data up to date?
