My Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 2 (2,5 years old) have no network link since i shutdown the NAS (normal shutdown from the admin console). Network port broken ?? I tried new cable's, connect direct to my PC... Have 2 2TB disk (RAID 1) with data that i don't want to lose. I can't connect now with the disks to backup the data. Is this possible with a USB cable-eSata ? Someone have a idea what to do ?
Have you tried connecting using the 2nd ethernet port. If you have, are you saying that the unit boots up normally but there are no lights adjacent to either of the ethernet sockets at the back? You can put he disks into another ultra 2, ultra 2 plus or pro2 which has the same firmware running as you had. You can also access the data directly from one of the disks using Linux reader:
Yes i tried the 2nd etherport but also no lights.... The NAS boots normaly, the lights is green at the front. (when booting First green act.. then green under 1 2.. ) I've tried using linux reader (connect the disk into my pc) but this message shows up ? can't open the disk, check the disk and try again.
Don't have a other NAS and not sure what version the firmware i had. But good to know that it is possible.
Linux reader requires the ext drive to be connected to the PC. There's no way it could help you access the share over the network, especially if the ethernet link is dead.
The ultra 2 warranty is 3 years, so if you are the original owner you should contact support right away.
OK, RMA process started so this topic can be closed. Readynas won't boot to bootmenu even with no disks (advise was doing an OS reinstall). Happy with the support, thanks so far.
