READYNAS 104 - has booted into safe mode with no drives?
Hi, Can anyone please help? Booted up, seemed to be working OK (but very slow), Then froze with a "do_exit+4c8" error. Drive lights were on. Wouldn't shut down, so two hard power cycles, same error. Last cycle - it has booted into Safe Mode with no drive lights on. Going to admin page I get this: I haven't touched it since. Any advice greatly appreciated. Cheers, JohnNetgear ReadyNAS Ultra 6 rebooting issue
I'm not an IT person: this will likely show in a way I'm talking about the issue. ;-) Our ReadyNAS started rebooting every day for the past few weeks. I thought cleaning the dust would help. As it wasn't doing anything I switched it off from the cable not using the back ON/OFF. Worsened the issue. I tried the reset button at the back using the NORMAL rebooting: became a loop "Checking FS". I wanted to do an OS reinstall but how do you confirm that choice on the menu: I tried the press and release button at the back but it's not working. Any video where I checked what I should be doing?Ready Nas 314 Firm 6.10.10 Raid Inactive
Status on Radar shows raid level 5 inactive. I cannot log in thru Raidar to see errors or anything else. The drives icons show green check boxes and the lights on the unit are all green. I have power cycled the unit, Did not help. I reset the drives Did not help. Boots fine and sets network without a problem What can I do? Willing to pay for support to get these drives back Thanks for any help Dave 201-647-6887 [email protected]Migrating Disks from NV+ to NVX
Hello Folks, I'm new here ... I have / had an old NV+ NAS with four 1TB drives. I hadn't used it for years and when I got it going again the other day, all was well for a few hours, backing up my MBP with TimeMachine, until - I'm guessing here - the PSU failed mid-backup, tripping the ring main breaker; the plug fuse (13A!) is Ok and it won't restart. Rather than try and repair or replace the PSU (my regular MO), I decided to buy a used NVX complete with disk trays - looking forward to the performance upgrade! So I've moved the four 1TB drives - in order - from the NV+ to the NVX and powered it up 'Normally'. Error message says that it can't mount the RAID disks ... Ok, so I boot into 'OS reinstall' mode, which seemed to be Ok until the same error message appeared. Any clues or ideas how to proceed? I'd really like to retain / recover the data on the RAID set. I haven't yet tried connecting over the network ... will try this next and see if RAIDar can see it. Many thanks in advance.Using ReadyNAS as backend for lightweight web tools — is it reliable?
Hi everyone, I currently maintain a small web tool (for example a gratuity / end-of-service benefit calculator for users in the UAE), and I’m evaluating options to host user data, logs, JSON storage files, and backups. My ideal setup is a lightweight, always-on system without needing a full server. That’s where ReadyNAS caught my interest. Some of the things I’m considering: Using ReadyNAS to host REST APIs, static JSON or YAML config files, and backing up user session data. Ensuring data integrity and performance — especially under concurrent access. Handling firmware updates without breaking API endpoints. Syncing backups to cloud or another NAS for redundancy. A few questions for those experienced with ReadyNAS: 1. Has anyone used ReadyNAS to back a small web service or tool (not just file server)? 2. What is the maximum recommended concurrent requests for lightweight API files (JSON) on ReadyNAS? 3. Which methods have you used for version-safe firmware updates so that custom services are not lost? 4. How do you handle secure access (SSL, tokens) when serving APIs from a NAS that’s also storing private user data? If anyone’s already built similar backend or microservice setups using ReadyNAS, I’d love pointers or pitfalls to avoid. Thank you!
