Trouble Accessing RNAS 2120 Shares From Windows 11
So, my wife was using Windows 7 until recently. She didn't want to upgrade to Windows 10, but it was a requirement for a game she started playing with some of her friends. So, I upgraded her. For the record, I **HATE** the Windows 10 install/upgrade process! The trouble is that now, she can only access the RNAS2120 shares once per PC reboot. After she turns on her computer, she's able to access the shares with no problem, but if she closes that Explorer window, the next time she attempts to access the shares, she gets a message saying the drive assignment is already in use (under Windows 7, I had the shares mapped permanently to some drive letters - a feature which Windows 10 kept, kind of), and when she tries to access the shares through the Network Neighbourhood, it tells her that the username and/or password is wrong. With the exception of her computer, all the other machines I run (my PC, the Minecraft server, the raspberry pi media server, and the kids' PCs) are Linux based, so the NAS is configured for NFS, rather than SMB/CIFS. Knowing this would be a problem because Windows 10 doesn't include NFS support right out of the box, I made sure I installed NFS support once the upgrade was completed, setup identity mapping (using this guide which I didn't have to do on Windows 7), and when I tested it, everything worked. The first time. Once that explorer windows is closed, and a new one is opened, it stops working and I don't know why. Naturally, because it's NFS, I don't have any issues on the Linux boxes or the Pi. It's just Windows. Does anybody have any tips or advice (no, she won't let me switch her to Linux - I've been trying to convince her for the entire twenty one years we've been together).ReadyDLNA Not working well (if at all?) 6.10.7
Hey Netgear, what's up with ReadyDLNA not working well at all in OS6? I recently replaced my old ReadyNAS 4 Pro with a new model running OS6. ReadyDLNA sucks in OS6! The indexing doesn't update when media files are added, a manual refresh/scan of my media files seems hit or miss as it the units to show media to stream... Yes DLNS is enabled in System -> Settings. I have two shares - both shares are DLNA enabled for video files only to reduce the amount that needs indexing. When I browse to the NAS with a compliant client, I can see the server, I can sometimes see some content and sometimes I see folders with no content. I found this thread by Steffan from last year: https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/ReadyDLNA-not-picking-up-new-files-RN102/m-p/1811720 Where the poster points out that the version of minidlna used by OS 6.10.7 is from 2017 and has a known bug fixed in later releases.... I logged into my new NAS with SSH and checked the minidlnad version number - sure enough 1.2.1... Seems a pretty simple thing to update in the next release ... How about it? This is my wife's primary way of watching our media libraries and I'd hate to have to dust off my ReadyNAS 4 Pro and go back to the reliable DLNA version of the old OS... Thanks
Reading Old ReadyNas drives on Windows 10
Hello, I need to access my old ReadyNas drives, so I purchased a plug-and-play SATA to USB 3.0 drive to connect my Windows 10 computer to copy some files to another drive. I can see the disk in the disk management, but I can’t get it to recognize in drives and devices to pull the files. Is there a program I need to pull the data? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, F Actual product below. NAS on Amazon NETGEAR ReadyNAS RN422ReadyDLNA not picking up new files
For some years now there have been posts alerting Netgear to the fact that ReadyDNLA/minidlna 1.2.1, which is the release still in current firmware 6.10.5 Hotfix 1 does not pick up new files. The most recent thread I can find about this is here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/ReadyDLNA-not-picking-up-new-files-RN102/m-p/1811720 In that thread a now retired member points out the necessary fix - the correction of an accidental typo in monitor.h, essentially -#if defined(HAVE_INOTIFY) && defined(HAVE_KQUEUE) +#if defined(HAVE_INOTIFY) || defined(HAVE_KQUEUE) At the time of this earlier discussion the latest stable release of minidlna was still 1.2.1 which contains the above typo preventing ReadyDLNA file monitoring from working correctly. Since then, minidlna 1.3.0 has been released (on 25.11.2020) and in this release the typo has been fixed and monitoring works again. Please Netgear would you look at including ReadyDLNA/minidlna 1.3.0 in the next ReadyNAS firmware release. It is a considerable chore gettiing new media files recognised by my several ReadyNAS units, all running firmware 6.10.5 Hotfix 1, and this same problem has persisted for quite a few firmware versions since the faulty mldlna 1.2.1 release was incorporated. As things stand to get new files recognised I have to initiate a manual scan, which takes hours. Can I also reiterate that this is nothing whatever to do with stalls due to errors in the last file added blocking a monitor scan. The fault lies in a simple typo within the 1.2.1 release of minidlna which Netgear are currently using and which prevents monitoring from happening at all. Thankfully this has now been superseded by a corrected official release, minidlna 1.3.0. Many ThanksScheduled scripts automated.
I currently have 2 NAS drives on my home network, and both allow automatic scheduling and emailing to the Admin account via its built in scheduler any "server logs" which also report any activity (i.e. admin logon, DOS attacks, BOT attacks, updates to AV, Time Sync etc) I find this very useful, especially as it also clears the NAS log file after its been emailed, so thus allows automatic maintenance, plus allows the admin user to see a weekly report of the NAS log which is emailed automatically. Currently I cant find this option under the config for the RN21400 ready series, and would love it if this feature was added.
rndp6000 inactive volume data
Hello there today I suddenly lost access to files over the network, and the NAS was totally freezed. so i force rebooted the system and opened admin console. there was message that volume data is in read only mode. one more reboot (from console)(so stupid i know) turned it to inactive volume. Can i somehow reboot it in read only mode again to save any files? ReadynasOs 6.10.4
