I have a problem with my NAS. When the NAS boots, everything looks fine but once the boot has completed I cannot access it via the network. Also, pressing the power button does nothing and the only way to shut it down is to pull the power cable.
I have performed an OS Re-install and have managed to get the device recognised in RAIRar. However, the device appears, does a file system check and then goes into a status of "Booting". After a few mins, RAIDar can no longer see the device and it cannot be accessed. Again, it can only be powered off by pulling the power cable.
I think everything on the disks is ok and it seems to be a problem with the enclosure. Is there any way to get around this issue? I have a second enclosure that I could migrate the disks into but am unsure of the process required to do this.
Thank you for getting back to me. While I am fairly comfortable with ssh/linux, it turned out to be a dead drive. I booted the NAS with each disk individually and it turned out that one of them was dead. I have stuck a replacement in this evening and it is currently rebuilding the RAID array.
I did not have a backup as that is why I have a NAS, I thought it was a good enough backup 🙂 Needless to say, anything I cannot afford to loose is now being backed up to the cloud and has been removed from the NAS.
