Readynas 2100 Stuck in telnet

Hi
My Readynas 2100  is stuck in telnet mode.
I have tested to change different boot version but it only comes backs and have telnet open.

So is the only fix to do a USB recovering ore can I make some changes in telnet.
I have tested to mount md0 but it comes back not there.

Re: Readynas 2100 Stuck in telnet

So I now have my readynas 2100 in os 6 and all working,
Thanks for the help !

So what helped me was 

1. Raidar great tool run on all platforms and show status on the nas when everything else is down
2. Took disk and WIPE then clean with fdisk. Else I could not get anything to start

3. When it started it was on TLS 1.0 so I needed a browser that allowed it.

So what got me wrong is I hade the ide that Readynas had a OS inbuilt and could run without disk.
That was got me in the wrong direction.

I'm not sure why you think you are ending up in Telnet mode, but you need to put in at least one drive before you can go any farther.  The NAS runs from a partition it puts on the drive(s), not directly from the flash drive.  If that doesn't work, then a USB recovery may be needed.

Re: Readynas 2100 Stuck in telnet

If the drive you put in it has previous formatting from another OS on it, you'll get "corrupt root".  You either need to remove all partitions from the drive using a PC or do a Factory Default of the NAS (with the drive inserted) using the boot menu (How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-1500-2100).  These will, of course, delete all data on the drive.

Re: Readynas 2100 Stuck in telnet

Ok yee put in some old drives.

So is the correct then

- Readynas will not run without any drives in it
- When Readynas starts it provision the drives so new ore clean drives needed

So fix is clean drives so they are blank. Insert into readynas start

Correct.  The system boots from a small OS partition on the drives.

It will format blank drives, install the OS onto the drives, and create the RAID array. 

 

It might sometimes do that with previously formatted drives (it depends on how they are formatted and what is on them).  Since it isn't that predictable, it is best to either use blank drives or do a factory default using the boot menu.

 

Note that if you hot-insert a drive into the NAS while it is running, it will always reformat the drive (no matter what was on it before).
