Odd Firefox Behavior on Duo V1 - Update
Since the thread has been closed I thought I'd add this one. Link to original issue is below: Odd Firefox Behavior on Duo V1 | NETGEAR Communities Apparently is was something in FF as it now works properly. No "doubling up" on the Duo's, each link opens properly. My current version of FF is 144.0. Can't say for sure which update fixed it as I've been using a different browser just for my Readynas. I was in FF looking at my other NAS and wanted to check backup status on the Duo. Rather than fire up another browser I just opened my bookmark for my Duo. I guess the "muscle memory" of clicking on backup jobs made me click it directly. As soon as I did I thought "dang it!". To my surprise it opened fine, just like it used to do. I clicked around to the other prior trouble spots and no issues. Not sure how useful this info will be as the issue "solved itself", but I wanted to complete the story. Admins/Mods, feel free to close this thread as I consider the matter fully resolved.
4.2.31 on my Ultra 6 has killed my NAS? Drive is read only and frontview hangs.
So I logged into my Ultra 6 and noticed there was a firmware upgrade available from May 2017! Since I get at least two emails from my NAS every day I assume it should have emailed me about this, but anyway, that's a minor problem. I installed the upgrade and then.... time machine no longer worked. My two laptop macs no longer could log in. I rebooted the ReadyNAS (since sometimes it gets in a mode where nothing can log into it) and it didn't help. Probing a little further, I attempted to change the Time Machine access password to be sure I had it correct. The web interface hung! A hard reset and disk check later and some errors were corrected. All SMART reading good and no errors. So I tried again. Same result. Every time I tried to change the time machine access password the UI and effectively the ReadyNAS hung. The next step was re-installing the OS, using the reset hole and front panel buttons. I did this. Another disk check. Now I can attempt to change the time machine access password and it appears to work, except the "volume size" of the time machine space is set back to the default 3000 every time I apply changes. Digging deeper, it appears my partitions are mounted read-only which would explain a lot. # touch /c/doc/SymformContrib/delete_this touch: cannot touch `/c/doc/SymformContrib/delete_this': Read-only file system During boot in kern.log I have this EXT4-fs error (device dm-0): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:726: group 10 blocks in bitmap, 32768 in gd Sep 14 10:59:30 sleepy kernel: Aborting journal on device dm-0-8.

My data is there. The filesystem is read only. This seems to be showing up other bugs (such as the entire device hanging). Does anyone have any suggestions beyond "Backup your 12GB data, install OS6 and start again"? Many thanks in advance.1.1KViews0likes5Comments
ReadyNas NV+ v1 no FrontView access, SSH not installed
I powered on my old ReadyNas NV+ v1 yesterday after a few months offline (it's normally disconnected until I need to retrieve or add archival data). The shares are accessible and email notifications seem to work fine however I cannot figure out how to access FrontView. I've read a number of threads and all of them hint to the fact that the firmware (4.1.15 according to RAIDar) might have some conflict with addons or something similar. I've tried various browsers and computers, reset the OS twice, tried to connect over ethernet cable (I'm using a Macbook running macOS Sierra) but to no avail—FrontView is not responding. Unfortunately I don't seem to have SSH active (I'm a novice user that only uses his NAS for the most basic of tasks) so I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help me? Thanks3.2KViews0likes7Comments
Restore user account from ssh
Hello dear community, I used to have several users that I created as I recieved the NAS and was experimenting a year ago. It seems that I removed some user accounts, but I still can see them in passwd, home directory are still there. # getent passwd [...] admin:x:98:98::/home/admin:/bin/bash [...] titimoi:x:100:98:my_email_address@email.com:/home/titimoi:/bin/false another_user:x:103:98:another_email@email.com:/homeanother_user:/bin/false and # ls /home/ admin another_user titimoi Note that I can login to frontview with "another_user" and "titimoi" In Frontview I see only "admin" in Account > User. Questions : - can you help me show "titimoi" and "another_account" in frontview so that I can manage then easiely, what file should I have a look at ? Cheers,4.3KViews0likes13CommentsFrontView Loading Improperly - EEPROM Issue
Hi everyone! I've been a lurker here for quite some time, and this community has been especially helpful! Finally ran into something I couldn't tackle, though - I'm having the the issues described in these threads, where the EEPROM data is overwritten when USB recovery is used: community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Unable-to-access-frontview/m-p/946896 community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Frontview-webpage-loading-partial/m-p/962775 community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Frontview-problem-readynas-pro-4/m-p/1058765 I was hoping somebody could help me with this. I'm more than capable of working with Linux, but none of the other posts have included the solution publically. Also - I don't generally run any of the stock netgear software/firmware, instead running CentOS as a deduplicated iSCSI storage target, but recently I've been considering selling my unit (not right now, but I wanted to ensure that I COULD return it to stock IF I wanted to). I see that some of the others with this problem have had a one-time fix for this issue. Since I play with custom software on this unit all the time, I'm sure it will happen again. If it's possible to get the solution, rather than just have someone apply the fix, that would definitely be preferable. Thanks!Solved3.1KViews0likes3Comments

I'm confused. I'm sure I used to be able to use Google Chrome from both Win7 and Win10 PCs to access Frontview on my NAS. The issue is one where it loads, after being presented with a warning about security certificates, but the console is minimal, with no active "buttons" In experimenting I've noted the following: From Win10 Pro/64 PC using Chrome 54.0.2840.59 m the problem happens Same platform, Firefox 49.0.1, same issue Same platform, Internet Explorer 11.0.1024017146, ignore the warning, Frontview behaves normally iPad 3 Chrome app, ignore, the warning, Frontview behaves normally Now I've tried the certificate key generation export/import thing from the NAS to Chrome on the WIn10 PC but that's not helped I'll admit I am not well versed in the matter of certificates but arguably it shouldn't be this hard to get one of the most popular browsers to work correctly with Frontview! If I'ver missed or misunderstood something then I stand to be guided! Help!Solved4.2KViews0likes6CommentsIs FrontView ProFTPd Custom Configuration Broken?
I am running ReadyNAS 6.4.2 and need to do some custom configuration for proftpd, beyond what FrontView permits. The default configuration for proftpd is in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf . This configuration file in turn include multiple conf files from /etc/frontview/proftpd which can be adjusted from FrontView. The /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf includes an instruction not to modify this file directly (presumably because it may change on release and would not be backed up as part of the FrontView configuration). Instead it includes a /etc/frontview/proftpd/proftpd.conf.overrides file where presumably users can override the proftpd configuration without these drawback. So far, fair enough. The problem is that /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf includes /etc/frontview/proftpd/proftpd.conf.overrides as its first line, not its last! So the net effect is that the overrides are overridden by the default rather than overriding the defaults. That is not very useful and can't have been the intention, can it?Solved3.5KViews0likes6Comments
