What causes a 'Failed Writing!' error in tftp??
Upon trying to use tftp to install Raidiator 3.x by renaming Raidiator 3 to Raidiator 4, Raidar tells me 'Failed Writing!', even though the tftp log says everything is transmitted and sent etc. That i...
Just experienced this error with my X6 Rev B. Luckily I found this thread, replaced the CF that came with the unit (PN IT19-1-1100-0) originally with a 128MB and that accepted the 4.1.7 Radiator image using an application called Win32DiskImager (which works well with Windows 7)
As background, I had upgraded successfully to 4.1.7 via Web Interface and the system had been working fine for a month. I wanted to eek the last ounce of disk performance from the unit and decided to back everything up and go for a factory restart. All seemed fine. Until I got the 1&3 alternating blinking lights (orange or yellow) and a slow flashing blue power light.
Tried TFTP on the 2nd LED blink which succeeded to transfer but did not reboot (power on/off required). USB Boot 4.1.7 did not work either.
Saw this thread, noticed comments about space and decided to use 128MB SanDisk CF, wrote the image, all tickety boo.
Looks like this problem could occur often for those of us with the older (infrant) Readynas'
