I was transferring some files from one directory to another on my ReadyNAS 204, in during the transfer it quit out on me. Since then I cannot amend a file, delete. Move or create. I have logged into my Admin, and the story is the same, I can not delete or remove, yet when I check the permissions, Guest (and it is only me that uses the NAS) have full permission W / R / D.
I can read files, and access then, and can every make copies of them off the NAS, but rename, move, delete and create, any modification on the NAS, is a no.
It won’t allow me to create any new user groups, I am fully stumped, I done everything apart form a factory reset and I don’t want to lose data.
I did, It won't allow me to modify anything at all, in the GUI or via a normal file access option with a browser. It kept saying I didn't have permission, desipte having logged in as the admistrator.
Since then, I lost all the directories, apart form my two root directories, while I was looking at file, via a browser, it a complete mystery, I am stumped and it looks like I have lost alot of data.
It has die,I was using it, and then it all vanished.
I had to now send the drive of to a data recover lab, when I went via the NAS to look at the volum, it was showing me 2, when there should only be 1. and no file or directory structure all all. But when I used windows or the mac, I can still see the top two directories, so I am 95% confident that the data is still all onthe drives.
Same story on the RAIDar, shows two volums, one 100% in use 21TB data, the other 0% unknown.
All the drive are in good health, so it looks very much like it is the ReadyNAS itself. I had my NAS not even two years, I just can not think why this has happened. I pray the data lab does recovery my work, I think now, I will be backing up everything on 2 disk, on for in use, the other for storage. I have no idea if they can recover it, to what the cost will be.
