That's what the -v was for.

Can I browse the folder structure, down to the individual files using another command? This will help me verify that I have successfully copied the data off of the NAS.

ls would do that. ls -alsR /media/USB_FLASH_2

If I wanted to copy the entire disk in one go, is this possible? Is there a command to do so?

It's the same cp command, just a slightly differently path. cp -rpv /data /media/USB_FLASH_2/data

Thank you - I have been playing around with the commands and seem to have gotten to grips following your expert help!!

Two final questions for the day,

1 - The transfer speed onto the USB drive seems to be very, very slow..... is this normal? Copying around 5gb data is taking maybe 20 mins or so

2 - Using the verbose command, does the file name only show in the log once it has been copied, or once the copy process starts? I ask as I unclear as to when the process is fully completed. Should it say something in the log confirming it is complete?

The Ultra-2 only has USB-2, so it will be slow.

But 20 minutes for 5 GB is slower than USB 2 - not sure what is going on there. After the data is backup up, maybe test the two drives.

The file name is shown on the screen when the copy begins. There is no "log". When the copy is finished, you will see the ssh prompt again.

Thank you, perhaps I can use the front USB 3.0 port instead? Should this work?

Hi @StephenB

I seem to have got the trick of copying data off.

One question, can you help with a command to see the size of the shares in GB below? This will help me to confirm 100% data has been copied.

Thank you

It won't tie out exactly. The USB drive(s) are formatted differently from the data volume, and the folders themselves will be a different size.

But the du command can be used to roughly check space. For instance, after copying /data/Test to /media/USB_FLASH_2/Test:

root@RN102:~# du -s /data/Test
637060  /data/Test
root@RN102:~# du -s /media/USB_FLASH_2/Test
637076  /media/USB_FLASH_2/Test
root@RN102:~#

Note the 16 kb discrepancy in this example.

You can also confirm the number of files match, by piping ls into wc. For instance,

root@RN102:~# ls /data/Test | wc -l
24
root@RN102:~# ls /media/USB_FLASH_2/Test | wc -l
24
root@RN102:~# ls -as /data/Test

Hi @StephenB ,

I had to power down the NAS, to remove one of the disks.

After trying to boot the NAS back on, it appears to be stuck in the boot mode, with the fan running high. I have tried to boot with no disks, disk 1 only and disk 2 only, but to no avail.

Now when I try to SSH in, i get the following error when using 'password' ;

root@192.168.0.115's password:
Permission denied, please try again.

Any idea of possible next steps? I would just like to get back to the stage where I can SSH in and copy data off via USB

It would have been best to complete the backup before manipulating disks. You knew the data was at risk.

What status is RAIDar giving you for the NAS? https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar

BigReyRey90 · ‎2022-05-10

I had removed one of the disks to run it through R-Studio - this software has found the data, but there are over 50,000 files, which are spread across a many folders and sub-folders. I had hope the data would match the Folder structure on the NAS itself.

RAIDar status is - "System Starting Up"

R-Studio doesn't claim support for BTRFS, so it is rather odd that it is seeing any of your files.

You might reach out to the R-Studio folks via https://forum.r-tt.com/ I believe it is supposed to preserve the folder structure, but there are cases in their forum where that doesn't seem to work.

We could try tech support mode - that is a bit more complicated to get into, and the USB disks likely won't mount automatically. Instructions to boot into that mode are on pages 14-15 here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RNDU2000/ReadyNAS_Ultra_UltraPlus_NVX_Pro_HW_en_8July11....

If it boots into that mode successfully, then you will need more guidance on how to log in, and mount the data volume.
