Hi,
I just tried to upgrade the firmware on my ReadyNAS NV+ V2 which has been working fine for years with 2x ST 2000DM001 Barracuda drives in it.
It has stopped working - won't boot - Raidar says corrupt root, the ReadyNas screen says pratition err.
I have tried to Boot with the reset button depressed and to choose OS reinstall with the backup button, but I can't get past the Normal option.
It's just won't work.
Very annoying, any help gratefully recieved.
Thank you
You could try powering down, removing disk 1, and then powering up again.
Do you have a backup?
Ok thank you for this.

This looks good - I can see the ReadyNAS name in filemanager or whatever they call it these days.
I have a partial backup, but there are items on the disks I would rather not lose, hence using the ReadyNas and two disk RAID.
Please may I ask what you suggest I do with disk1? Do you think it has probably failed?
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Julian
Test the disk in a windows PC using vendor tools (lifeguard for western digital, seatools for seagate, ...)
If it passes, you can try inserting it with the NAS running, and see if it resyncs. Or of course just buy a replacement.
It would be good to do a full backup before you do any of this.
I have ordered a new disk. If there is any doubt, it's probably best to bin it and by the time I have hooked it up and run tests etc. I may aswell just get a new one.
Can I just insert the new one straight away?
Thank you again for your help.

You can - hot insert it with the NAS running.
The backup suggestion is because you could lose the volume if the remaining disk fails during the resync.
