Can't SSH login with Root and admin pass - ReadyNAS NV+ (Radiator 4.1.16)
Hi, I'm *still* running an NV+ with Radiator 4.1.16 :-) I'm getting ready to upgrade to a more modern box, and trying to ssh to clean up some permissions issues. I can connect via ssh with the a...
The root password is the same as the admin password. If you're finding that isn't the case, try changing the admin password in frontview.
Have you installed the add on that enables ssh? It's the first one listed here: https://kb.netgear.com/24546/Add-ons-for-RAIDiator-4-1-3-Sparc
Note you can also reset permissions and ownership in Frontview - it's on the "advanced" settings tab for the share.
Thanks for the reply!
I installed the plugin a long time ago. It doesn't currently show up in the list of plugins ... I wlll try reinstalling it. Thanks for the pointer - I couldn't find the SPARC binaries, just the x86 ...
I tried the admin password for "ssh root@host" but get "permission denied". If I use "ssh admin@host", I can log in, but the shell exits immediately.
I tried changing the admin password with FrontView but it doesn't seem to take - the password remains the same. I'm not sure what's going on there.
I've got some individual files that need ownership changed and can't seem to make that work at all... there's no "advanced" tab that I can see? I can't see the ownership at all via the browser, and I can't change it across the network when I mount the share.
Hey, that seems to have worked! (reloading the plugin).
Thanks.
And, now that I can see the syslog/dmesg messages, it appears that one of my drives hasn't been being used all along
Need to do drives searching.
Find p d at 1, chn 1
Total=4; raid=4; ready=0; work=4; failed=0
Check degraded mode, start_pos=1
No drive missing, X_RAID run in opt mode.
Change X_RAID running mode from 0 to 1
Update backup SB.
X_RAID: recovery thread got woken up ...
New = 1, source drives = f, current/active=4/4
hdc: hdc1 hdc2 hdc3 < hdc5 hdc6 >
hde: unknown partition table
hdg: hdg1 hdg2 hdg3 < hdg5 hdg6 >
hdi: hdi1 hdi2 hdi3 < hdi5 hdi6 >
which sort of makes sense, since I was only getting 2.7TB out of my 4x1TB drives. FrontView never complained in any way about this, which seems ... weird.

2.7 TB is what you should see with 4x1TB. The capacity rule is "sum the drives and subtract the largest" - which is 3 TB. But the NAS actually reports space in TiB (1024*1024*1024*1024), not TB (1000*1000*1000*1000). And 3 TB is the same as 2.7 TiB.

Does the volume page in Frontview say the volume is degraded?
OK thanks for the explanation - should I be concerned about the "unknown partition table"?
