ReadyNAS snapshots
Can anyone please clarify how the snapshots are structured in ReadyNas OS? I see that when I create a snapshot is there in front view. If I have checked the box to "access the snapshot" (for a share), then two new folders show up at the root level of the share. "snapshot" and ".snapshots". .snapshots is totally hidden from ls listing even in ssh, but if I cd to it anyway knowing is there, I can cd into it. It appears to me that .snapshots is meant to be the internal location of hard links to underlying snapshot references, they are numbered 0-9 so far. Then the other snapshot folder that is not hidden is also referencing the same things...but labeled as dates rather then sequential numbers. First I want to understand if I'm understanding that correctly so far? I am trying to setup my idrive backup to ignore those because to idrive, due to hard links, they just look like lots and lots of duplicated data...twice...once for snapshot and once for .snapshots. Still trying to figure out out how to exclude them in Idrive, idrive has an exclusion list, but somehow so far its not excluding them..and it takes a really long time to prep its backup task...I guess scanning through many many more data then necessary. I will probably figure that out eventually, but for now just wanting to understand how the snapshots in Readynas work...in terms of those folders when I have enabled "access" to the snapshots. I wish Readynas had located these access at a different path inside of at the root level of the share, because while readynas is presumably smart enough to ignore that when creating each new snapshot, avoiding recursion.. other tools such as idrive and others, simply see it as a lot of duplicated data. well anyway it is whatever it is, but any clarity on this point would be helpful. thanks.
ReadyNAS 626X (RN626X00) S/N 4MD46CEL000F1
Dear Team, yesterday unexpectedly my NAS server stopped working so i rebooted the NAS after it was stuck on booting at 46% and then after long time its booted. but i was not able to access it through admin page. it has 4TB of 4 HDD on RAID5 ,DISK 3 LED is BLINKING. on front display showing resyncing of data 10.95% , 0MB available out off 10.91 TB. in Admin login page following error are showing.

What I’ve done so far: Tried multiple Ethernet cables. One bad cable was found and replaced. Now connected via the same network (router/switch) as my PC. I have also tried a direct cable from NAS to PC with a static IP, but no change. RAIDar 6.5.0 cannot detect the NAS in any state. Performed a factory default reset using boot menu: Powered off NAS Held SYS/Reset while powering on → LED blinked then went solid Pressed Backup until only Disk 1 LED was lit Pressed Reset again → NAS LEDs alternated between Power, Disks 1 & 2, and Backup for about 20 minutes Eventually LEDs stopped alternating — now Power + ACT + Disk 1 + Disk 2 are all solid With all 4 LEDs solid, the NAS appears “ready,” but I cannot access it and RAIDar still does not see it. Also attempted: USB Recovery with rear port: Built USB manually from a YouTube tutorial (may not have been official RN1020 package) Booted doing same procedure as default reset but selected disk led 2 instead. RAIDar still did not detect Tried boot menu without USB: Fast blink → Solid blue → no detection. Drives installed: Two Toshiba N300 NAS 4TB (both inserted during factory reset). Current state: Power + ACT + Disk 1 + Disk 2 solid blue No web UI on default IP 192.168.168.168 whether direct-connected or via network RAIDar cannot find NAS Any ideas on this would be greatly appriciated Thanks in advance.ReadyNAS RN214 not showing correct disc size
I have a RN214 and had 4x6TB drives and have updated 2 of those to 12TB as was running out of space. However it now only shows 21.81TB size with 5.64TB free space and was expecting more Looks like the correct size of the drives is not showing. It is set on X-RAID - Raid 5. Any suggestion would be great. Thankyou
