Win 11 or RN202?
'Newbie' here...... New Win11 computer, now can't write to ReadyNas 202. Access is fine, able to copy/read from new computer, even media player in TV room on WiFi, but can't put/paste new files on RN202. everything was fine with previous Win10 computer (not same hardware) Can access Admin thru browser/URL, log-on, etc On This PC, NAS shows up as a drive and is accessible (read only) On Windows Explorer navigation column, click on NAS get: Windows cannon access NAS Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose (which is useless). Permissions on both computer & NAS are 'wide open'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!Audit Logs
Sir , we are using Ready NAS 4312 , In this we need Audit logs , ex : which users / ip no has crested the file , read the file and deleted the file in a share folder . We have configured the Audit log option , we are not getting proper logs . It is not showing the deleted logs when a file is created its shows as "root " users and does not show any ip number of the system or the user name . Kindly help me on as solution regardsNo Volumes Exist Suddenly - ReadyNas 10400 - HELP!
I was in the middle of running a full backup of my readynas 10400 system yesterday and something has gone wrong. Now I cannot access the shares, and the system is showing the message that 'No Volumes Exist' and telling me to remove inactive volumes in order to use the disks. It was set up as a Raid 5 array using 4 discs, and one of them failed the other day, hence my decision to run a backup. I do not have a full backup of all the data so I need to get access back into those shares. I am at a loss as to what to do. I've replaced the failed drive with a new one but still no joy. From what I have read this probably means that the array is out of sync but I don't know how to get it to resyncronise. I have downloaded the logs so can supply them if required. I was in the process of setting up a robust backup system when this happened, so I hadn't managed to back it all up yet. Help, basically.
ReadyNAS as rsync backup for unRAID
With the unceremonious 86'ing of the ReadyNAS line, I was looking for ways to get more life out of my RN626 and RN314. Turns out they make excellent backup/clone storage for unRAID servers. After fully factory resetting and wiping my RN626, I installed the rsync server Docker app on my unRAID system. From there, it was just a matter of straightforward configuration and entering the pertinent settings (e.g., username, SSH key) on both systems. It's all so straightforward that it doesn't even really need a step-by-step. I think the most technical element was exporting the ReadyNAS' SSH key and copy-pasting it into the Docker config. I've since configured my ReadyNAS to boot up at specified times via its GUI (very useful functionality that unRAID lacks out of the box). It then clones the unRAID on a per-share basis with its built-in rsync capabilities and then shuts down automatically after a certain time has elapsed. Because the ReadyNAS is now a one-trick pony that only spins up for a few hours per week, I don't feel the same urgency around updating its outdated OS. And I have a full, set-it-and-forget-it, daily onsite clone of my unRAID system should the worst happen. I don't doubt that this use case has already occurred to many folks, but I wanted to share it in case it hadn't. It's been a great way to extend the useful life of my ReadyNAS.
EDA500 gone, now all shares on main NAS don't appear
I had two EDA500s connected to my 316. They both messed up, at the same time resulting in data loss. Now......... in Windows Explorer, I have always seen the old shares names appear in the list. Today I tried to delete the EDA500 and the result was: No shares except for one now shows up in Windows Explorer. Even ones on the main NAS that are folders in /data. There are about 5 shares in /data/ that SHOULD be appearing. If I do ls on /data, they are there. In the UI, there are no shares at all whatsoever. So I am guessing something is out of whack with the smb config. What can I do to f ix this?
