Readynas duo never gets ready
Trying to start up my (old) Readynas DUO but it will never get ready. When I starting the device the lamp is blinking, and will never stop. I have been waiting for more than 24 hours. I have also tried to do a OS backup (holding resetbuttom for 5 sek, waiting for the disklamps to flash) No action!
I have also tried to to a full factory reset (holding reset buttom for ca 25 sek, wating for the disklaps flashing 2 times)
After that I also have waited more than 12 hours.
What is wrong?

Yes, that is working! I can find the nas with "no disks found"
Great. That suggests that the startup issue might be related to the disks.
So perhaps test the disks in a windows PC with vendor diags (lifeguard for wdc, seatools for seagate). Or try starting the NAS with only one of the disks installed.

Are you seeing one of these LED patterns?
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by a 1 second delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code.
Current error codes:
1 – Vendor mismatch
2 – No disks detected
3 – Bad contents on root partition of disks
4 – Flash error
5 – Unsupported RAID configurationAlso try installing RAIDar on a PC - if the NAS is on the network it can report status.
When the nas is booting up its flashing fast in about 2-3 minutes after that the flashing changes to a slightly slover pace. But no, patterns what I can see.
I'm using mac os 10.10, Cant find then nas on Raidar. Have no PC.
Your mac is a PC, just running a different OS. :smileyhappy:

Is there any data on the Duo that you care about?
