Bummer, I was hoping to jump to 6.7 here but this thread is not very encouraging. I also just realize my older Ultra4 Plus is now not accessible on 6.6.1 using Frontview which is not helping matters. I have been reluctant to upgrade my primarhy NAS from 6.6.0 to 6.6.1 since my backup NAS appears to not be stable on 6.6.1. I also saw a few posts about apps not working on 6.6.1 but I digress. I'll remain on standby until I see some encouraging results with 6.7 or maybe 6.7.1.
Shortly after my last post I had the system running sweet as a nut, I dropped back to 6.6.1 without issue, disabled all non essential services and apps (Plex / Antivirus) and instantly saw the RN104 spring back to life, I took a gamble and re applied the 6.7.0 firmware and this time 100% success no noticeable issues and performance and stability were spot on.
1 week later
fast forward to Yesterday.... and I notice that I've burnt through 1TB of free space and this is after a massive clear out of redundant shares and old files.... I relaised that I still had snapshots for said ancient files and decided to clear them out.... thats when I hit the now known issue in 6.7.0 where deleting snapshots send the device into meltdown quickly crashing the GUI... back to square one.
I may have screwed up here as I took it upon myself to download 6.7.1 Beta and create a USB Recovery stick and install that way, the process didn't work as Igot a message on the LCD I hadnt seen before... I tried to access the admin GUI but the NAS refuses the connection outright, I try RAIDair to access Diagnostics only to have the admin credentials declined.... Opted for OS Recovery to try and get back in.... no joy, won't accept defualt admin credentials via Raidair... Web GUI is a no go but strangly enough all my shares are accesable using the admin credentials via Windows explorer... so my Login works but I can't change anything lol
I'm stumped.... and toying with the idea of backing up all my data in Windows explorer and doing a factory restore. I might chance waiting for 6.7.1 but I reckon my free space will be gone by Next weekend 😞
If a Factory Default via the Boot Menu doesn't work and that your HDDs are confirmed OK, then this is the appropriate situation to perform a USB Boot Recovery:
I think it is time to update on the status of the issue with my 6.7.0 upgrade on RN214.
After the manual update that did not go smoothly, the system was no longer able to access my encrypted volume.
Together with mgdm we continued the efforts offline through PM.
But I am losing my patience now....
So fare nothing has worked and although mgdm was able to access the volume with the system in tech support mode, the issue is still there...
Apart from the steps I took together with mgdm, I have tried several tricks to get it to work but nothing helps...
The system has been unusable now for two weeks, following the fact that it was unusable for a week after the Readycloud issue.
mgdm has been silent now through PM even after polling him 8 days ago.
From then on the 6.7.0 discussion has been dominated with the issue of quota problems and 6.7.1 should solve that. But nobody told me that my issue is falling in that category... So to me it looks like there is no attention to the fact that 6.7.0 is not able to read an encrypted volume.
Just updated my RN102, that was killed by the 6.70 Update, to 6.7.1Beta provided here. After a few hours it seems that everything works stable. Even the smb-problem, existing in my system since 6.6.1 seems to be solved.
Hope it will stay stable after so many weeks without it....
Thanks ... unzipped and now running 6.7.1, and upgrade was relatively quick and easy.
Just 2 things of note
1. On Windows 10 Edge (fully uptodate). When opening the image file, ReadyNAS closes the window and logs me out. After 3 attempts including a re-boot of Win 10, I have a bright idea and use Chrome (not my favourite browser) and it works.
I mention this so that others might be ware of it and can take similar actions.
2. I missed the fact that a Scrub had started last night (listed in the logs and I did not check), so the ReadyNAS was rebooted (required for upgrade) in the middle of the Scrub.
So is it likely that the Scrub is going to restart (or we know for certain that it won't) and if so how can I tell if it is running?
