ReadyNas 104 multiple issues after update

[rmknight]

Spoiler

After an update to 6.9.0 I have multiple isses.

I cannot login to the admin console a 2nd time after reboot. Works the first time but then have the "Admin page is Offline" error. I have to physically power down the NAS and then reboot. I am then able to login again.

Also I cannot turn on SMB this mean I has lost most of the use cases for the device.

Any help would be great.

Hi rmknight,

You may download first the complete logs of the NAS and the try doing an OS reinstall. You may check this link for the procedure on how to do the OS reinstall.

I have disabled plex and now I can get to the admin pages now. But still unable to enable SMB.

I am getting close to looking at alternative NAS.

@rmknight

Which APP did you install?

Could do you please enable SSH in GUI System/Settings?

then login NAS via SSH, username is root, password is admin GUI login password,

check file and folder's permission on your NAS.

please see below topic,

Evan2,

Thanks for you constructive reply.

Unfortunatly I have resolved the issue but backing up and clearing the configuration and the restore of the data.

As we had lost our access to music and videos. So needed a quick fix. that took 2 days because of the data involved.

I am hoping this is a one off after 3 years of service.
