RAIDiator Version 4.1.14 (Sparc) Checksum Error
Anyone else have a problem installing using a locally downloaded file. After downloading the firmware update from:
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/25786
. . . and then trying to manually update a ReadyNAS 1100, I get:
Invalid checksum detected in the update file. Update aborted.
Thoughts?? :werd:

- vandermerweMasterHave you downloaded the zip file again?
Have you unzipped the file? - SpunkAspirantRecommended practice - after unzipping the update, run an MD5 checker on the extracted update file. The zip includes an MD5 file that shows what it should be. Suggestion - use Nullriver's freeware WinMD5Sum.
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredThe NAS will check if the file is corrupt when you upload it. The firmware has a header containing a md5sum of the rest of the firmware image. If the NAS detects an invalid checksum in the update file it will refuse to install it.
- maf11AspirantI tried loading the v4.1.14 update and got the same result. Then downloaded the update again and got the same result again, invalid checksum. I now have the problem where I my shares on the NAS are no longer working. Selecting a share from Windows Explorer I get the error message:"The specified network name is no longer available". I am able to ping the NAS drive using both the device name and the IP address, but I can't connect. I am able to access the Admin page, although I'm concerned as the status logs only shows the entries from when I tried to update the new firmware.
Using the command net use I get the following:
Status - Local - Remote
Unavailable - L: - \\nasher\common
Disconnected - M: - \\192.168.1.xx\media
The workgroup is the same for all PC on the network. The router doesn't show the NAS as being connected! Yet I'm able to ping? - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee Retiredmaf1, it sounds like your OS partition might be full.
- maf11AspirantSorry, can you explain. The admin only shows the NAS as being 53% full.
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredThe 2GB OS partition where OS, Config, logs are stored. Sent you a PM.
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee Retiredmaf1 as I suspected the OS partition was full
Your /var/log/frontview/error.log was 1.5G
As you have SSH enabled we could have used that to troubleshoot this problem.
Should be fixed. Updating the firmware should work if you try again. - surreyalanAspirantHi,
Using Frontview I checked for updates in the FIRMWARE and let the NAS download the update, as I have always done. I received a system log email to inform me to ReBoot the NAS to continue with the update. I selected the on screen option to shut down and re-start. Evere since that time the NAS is just vshowing a Blue flashing ON\OFF switch. I have tried manually switching ON\OFF but it still hangs. I have 2 x 1TB drive, that mirror, so only 1TB of storage. This has worked well untill this recent update, and I have never had an update fail like this. Yes, IU suppose I was a little complacent, but too late now. Can I recover all the data on the NAS, and what is the best way to get it working again? ThANKS - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee Retiredsurreyalan I have responded to your case. Please check your email.
