Crashplan stopped working after the 4.5.0 upgrade on a ReadyNAS Ultra w/ RAIDiator 4.2.28. uname -r is 2.6.37.6.RNx86_64.2.4 but ldd (GNU libc) 2.7. Is there an addon for RAIDiator to upgrade glibc to 2.9+? Is there a DropBox add-on that will upgrade glibc? Thanks.
See the marked solution - That upgrades glibc to 2.13. whocares_ has chosen not to charge for it (though you will need to go through the checkout motions at rnxtras.com).
Working for me on two Pro 4 boxes with CrashPlan 4.5.0. Thanks! I hope CrashPlan leaves things alone for a while now. I'm very close to switching entirely to something like urBackup, because CrashPlan keeps breaking with forced upgrades.
Excellent! I just installed the glibc upgrade add-on on the Ultra 2 w/ RAIDiator 4.2.28, and CrashPlan 4.5.0 is running OK. Thanks for all the help--I was beginning to panic!
Well, making it available for free was deliberate and meant as a service to the community. On the other hand I don't mind buying out of the ordinary candies for my kids. So feel free to send donations to https://www.paypal.me/whocares if you insist 😉
Anybody else using plex who also installed this addon? It looks it may have broken audio transcoding. I have tested a few movies that have 5.1 audio and the transcoder now appears to mux the track improperly. Just curious if anyone else sees this or its a plex issues. Plex is like a house of cards so it could very well be on their side but timing is coincidental.
Do you see any error messages in either the syslog or logs provided by Plex? While there is a chance that the glibc broke the transcoding this would be a quite rare thing to happen. Unfortunately I currently don't have Plex installed so I can't test it.
Had a look through the logs and didn't see any issues. Tried another Plex client that also requires transcoding and it played fine. So this looks to be a android fire plex client issue. Not a shock really as plex on the fire tv platform is riddled with issues.
Thanks for putting this addon together! Everything seems to be looking good!
Well I tried this addon, to try to get crashplan restore working. Immediately after running the add on installer, the ssh command line started returning nothing but "segmentation fault". Frontview responded with request for password, and my own password didn't work. I waited a while, no change.. Tried to restart the readynas, its not coming back to me, I can't access it through frontview, nor are my AFP shares coming back up, and ssh is also not getting to it now.
It would appear this is completely hosed my readynas.
before running the add on I did a check to see what version of glibc I had before hand. it said this:
(sjs)[~]: dpkg -l | grep libc6
ii libc6 2.7-18lenny7.netgear4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries
ii libc6-amd64 2.7-18lenny7.netgear4 GNU C Library: 64bit Shared libraries for AM
ii libc6-dev 2.7-18lenny7 GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Hea
I had the last and final firmware on my ultra 2 plus. 4.x.28 I believe it was.
I hope someone has some suggestions for me, I'm seriously panicing right now...
What you could try to do is to run a "OS Reinstall" from the ReadyNAS boot menu. This should restore the original OS together with the libraries that were replaced by the add-on. However, there's a chance this won't work either and you need to get in touch with NETGEAR technical support or allow me to try to fix the NAS for you.
What do you mean with "nuclear option"? Reinstalling the OS is just that: it installs the operating system, leaving everything else (including your data) as it is. I guess you're mistaking "OS Reinstall" with "Factory Reset". The latter will wipe your NAS, the former will just do what would be done on for example a firmware upgrade.
ok its good to hear my data will still be there, though it will take me some time to get my various addons functioning again...I have no idea whether that will break some of them, I'm assuming so.
..but I guess it sounds like I have no other option but to try that at this point...
It will reset your IP address to use DHCP, and your admin password to netgear1. Generally all other settings are preserved, and add-ons are not affected.
Be careful not to do the factory default, as that one is destructive.
Basically you need to power off your NAS, find the reset button on the back of the unit, put a straightened paper clip in it and depress the reset button *before* powering on the NAS and keep the reset button depressed until the phrase "Boot Menu" is displayed on the LCD. Then use the backup button to cycle through the options until you get to "OS Reinstall". Now use the paper clip to press the Reset button on the back again.
This would also be the way to get your NAS into TechSupport mode which you could try first as StephenB suggested. This will open a telnet connection to the ReadyNAS and allow to run some diags on the system.
