Remove inactive volumes to use the disk Disk #1,2,3,4,3,4 after updating to 6.9.0 Ready Nas 204
Hi Everyone, This is my first post here so forgive any newb things i might say... So i have had my nas system for a little while now and i have all 4 bays filled up and I havnt added any drives to it in a while. I mainly use it as a media server for plex so although its not life or death to lose everything it would for sure suck to lose all the data i have aquired over many years. Withou pulling any drives out currently I believe them to all be WD Red. I did a bit of looking in this forum before posting and found some people with similar issues but none really have any solutions yet. I dont knw much about how to read the logs but I did try yo follow along with what some of you were suggest to other people and i didnt see any drive errors in my logs but i can supply them if needed. So The other day i watch watching something from my plex server and it said the serve went offline and when i looked the nas was still connected but the plex app was turned off. I couldnt get it to turn back on. I noticed there was an update for the app so i attempted to install it but it kept coming up with an error and i couldnt figure it out. I had been puting off the nas OS 6.9.0 update for a few months now because last time it made my nas resync and it took almost a full week but I decided to just go ahead and do the update and it appeared to go smoothly but now I get this error message and Im not sure if it always showed 2 volumes on the left hand side or not but im not sure whats going on or what to do. I attempted to remove drive 1 and re insert and it took 2 days to resync but it didnt change anything. I can try the beta 2 release but then I wont have the option for netgear paid support. I dont really want to have to pay for support but I also just wan this fixed and hopefully not lose any data and if possible know what caused it to hopefully prevent it from happening again. Any Ideas??? Sandshark StephenB Skywalker Thanks in advance.
RN526X with 6x 4TB WD Red PRO. What should I set up this time, my 3rd readynas.
This was a bit unscheduled since I was thinking to just upgrade my pro pioneer drives! However, the pro pioneer appears to have died and I think it's the raid controller causing things not to boot.... Anyhow. So I await my rn526x tomorrow to hopefully see my pro pioneer data to pull off the drives. Also I've found a good enough deal for me and bought 6x 4TB WD Red Pro drives. Historically, I always max out all the bays and never change it. My readynas NV+ still runs as a double back up of important files from my pro pioneer. The pro pioneer was a huge upgrade from my NV+ and I maxed out the drive bays with 6x2TB RE4-GPs... Both times I just went with xraid cause at the time all the talk about best flexibitily and what not I guess. I've been reading some topics here but feel I need to ask for myself :) This time, what should I do... don't bother with xraid? go straight to raid 10? There seems to be some controversy in the forums about raid10 speeds but not sure if it's still applicable today. It's highly unlikely I'll be playing with individual drive sizes, I like to set it and forget it... I was going to replace all the drives in the pro pioneer but the box unexpectedly died. I use it for storage and I while I did dabble with iscsi on the pro pioneer for VMs I didn't really stick with it and opted for raid 0 arrays on local machine. Would probably like to revisit iscsi and hyper-v again on this new nas. Thanks for your thoughts.ReadyNAS 104 Help Needed - Uninstalled App and cannot access GUI/Manage device
Hi All, I'm hoping somebody can help me here. A couple of months ago I realised I was no longer able to access the GUI of my ReadyNAS anymore to configure the device. I remember the night before both uninstalling an app at some point and also installing a new firmware when prompted. I can't remember nor am sure which has caused the issue. Since then though I can't connect to the Netgear GUI at all. I can however browse the shares from all devices. I can also use RAIDAR to discover the device, but when I try to use any of the features to gain access I get prompted for a username and password - my original username and passwords do not work anymore so I can't seem to do any more. I tried SSH as found at the below link but it didnt work. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Can-t-access-web-GUI-setup/td-p/927583/page/2 Please can somebody offer some help and advice so that I can get my NAS up and running again please? Many thanks Matt
