Xpenology - ReadyNAS 628X
Hello! Since the ReadyNAS is no longer supported, has anyone installed Xpenology on a 628x? If so, are there any documented instructions or videos that you followed? I currently also have a Synology and am familiar with the GUI and like it, so putting Xpenology on my ReadyNAS seems logical to me. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!For NETGEAR NAS Storage

This topic is related and refers to "2.5GBe USB LAN" discussion (https://community.netgear.com/discussions/readynas-general/2-5gbe-usb-lan/2455947/replies/2473823) I have replaced disk drive recently in my NAS, made factory reset default (dont ask why), reflashed good old RNOS 6.10.9 and started over from scratch. Problem which surprisingly appeared is, i cant get, nor find linux-image-extra for my version, or for 6.10.10 (i think file was same and mutual for both versions) = linux-image-extra_4.4.218-610090001_amd64.deb apt get linux-image-extra E: Invalid operation get root@READYNAS:~# apt install linux-image-extra Reading package lists...

I think this is problem of file absence? Not with keys? Because i did all workarounds for apt-get to work, disablind authentification, adding keyrings for debian and freexian (latest, they have deprecated Debian 7 Jessie recently too) and added all the mirros (debian + rnos) Maybe is there some mirror you have, or archive, you made, i am asking just for the file linux-image-extra_4.4.218-610090001_amd64.deb which i cant find anywhere else. Im dumb i havent saved it. I need recompile linux core, and with usb-lan stick driver, just this thing. I hope i cant find help from Netgear, or more probably one of you, who was wise and made mirror or backup of files? Thank you for any helpMigrating Disks from NV+ to NVX
Hello Folks, I'm new here ... I have / had an old NV+ NAS with four 1TB drives. I hadn't used it for years and when I got it going again the other day, all was well for a few hours, backing up my MBP with TimeMachine, until - I'm guessing here - the PSU failed mid-backup, tripping the ring main breaker; the plug fuse (13A!) is Ok and it won't restart. Rather than try and repair or replace the PSU (my regular MO), I decided to buy a used NVX complete with disk trays - looking forward to the performance upgrade! So I've moved the four 1TB drives - in order - from the NV+ to the NVX and powered it up 'Normally'. Error message says that it can't mount the RAID disks ... Ok, so I boot into 'OS reinstall' mode, which seemed to be Ok until the same error message appeared. Any clues or ideas how to proceed? I'd really like to retain / recover the data on the RAID set. I haven't yet tried connecting over the network ... will try this next and see if RAIDar can see it. Many thanks in advance.Writing to the LCD (RN516)
Does anyone have any notes on how to enable hardware support or load kernel modules etc, in order to obtain a workable method to access the displays on ReadyNAS devices from within alternative linux OSs? Specifically I'm interested in RN516 and Pro6, but it would be great if we could start to share knowledge to help everyone with this particular issue. I've been running various different OSs on an RN516, and have stuff like fan control sorted. I've also sorted out a nasty ACPI issue which hogs a large chunk of CPU power due to interrupts from IRQ9. But, I've run out of talent so far on anything that lets me access the LCD hardware. Any pointers? And no, there's nothing in /dev like /dev/lcd or /dev/ttyS1 or similar that will do that job. Stuff that works inside ReadyNAS OS6 doesn't work in other linux OSs, presumably due to a lack of hardware support in the kernel, or the correct module. So far I've completely failed to work out how to resolve this. I managed for the fan/temperature/PWM hardware, but the LCD is kicking my butt.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!
