Netgear Readynas NVX (Buisness)
I just bought the device for 30 euros and have managed to install the latest official firmware (4.2.31) with Root SSH and fixed the TLS issue. Now I am wondering moving onto flashing something more modern, like Alpine Linux x86. I was wondering if this is possible, advisable and what issues might arise. I have ordered a UART TTL to USB adapter and ask if I would need anything else for this. I appreciate all kinds of feedback. Thanks in advancedHas anyone succesfully updated RNONS6(.10.9) the kernel 4.4.218 to above 4.10 and higher?
Hi, question is simple. I am using RNOS 6.10.9 or 6.10.10 (prefer prelast tuned up version). Has anyone been able and succesfully updated LINUX kernel headers itself at least to 4.10 version and above while keeping ReadyNAS OS installed? I've managed to recompile 4.4.218.x86_64.1. kernel (the available latest linux headers) from public netgear GPL source files for ReadyNAS OS6(.10.9) - package (ReadyNASOS_V6.10.9_WW_src.zip) and there it ends. This allowed me to use 2,5gbit usb-rj45 stick and its driver to improve network transfer speed. But to utilize and use full 5gbit or 10gbit network using rj45 and lan network cable, it requires 4.10 as minimum kernel version at least. Three topics reffering to very same inquiry (i mean updating from 4.4.218.x86_64.1.) https://community.netgear.com/discussions/readynas-use/6-6-0-source-for-kernel-compile/1181799 https://www.facebook.com/groups/NetgearReadyNAS/posts/24065097959771682/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/NetgearReadyNAS/posts/9968858536488861/ Below the line.. i have downloaded original Debian Linux 4.10 (whole genuine package), containing even kernel headers of this version (x86), but i was unable to compile it, fully, getting stuck on LILO or GRUB steps, and linux image update problem, i cant solve. (topic regarding 2,5gbit network usb-rj45 adapter usage connected to usb3 port) https://community.netgear.com/discussions/readynas-general/2-5gbe-usb-lan/2455947 ReadyNAS 312 Thank you
Power outage - RN528X does not auto-power on, causing UPS Slave errors
Early southern California winter storm, lost power for a few hours. Have the following setup: Cyberpower CP1500PFCLCDA 1500VA UPS RN528X is USB-connected to UPS and configured in RN OS 6.10.9 "Power" Settings RN528X Wake on LAN is ENABLED Power outage triggered UPS battery-low condition after 13 minutes, prompting RN528X to shut down: However, after power was restored, RN528X did not power back on. It remained powered down. According to Netgear, an OS 6 device with WoL enabled should auto-power on after a shutdown event: "When wake-on-LAN is enabled, if the unit is disconnected from AC power it will power on when AC power is reconnected." Wondering why this did not happen...? Normally, I would say "who cares"... however in my setup I have 3 other ReadyNAS OS6 boxes configured as "Remote UPS" to the RN528X. They are RN424, RN314, and RN212, all running 6.10.9 and all with WoL enabled. When the RN528X doesn't power back on, the other NAS boxes each begin complaining with this frequent message: Am I doing something wrong by using one NAS as the "Host" for UPS and the others as "Slaves"? I thought this is how it's supposed to be managed using a single UPS.
ReadyNAS Pro 6 max RAM
Hi all, Yes, I'm aware the Pro 6 is ancient and I'm aware that many threads here seem to suggest that 8GB is the maximum this box can take. But I'd like to have zfs/TrueNAS on it and I'd love 16GB on it. So I thought I'd ask: is 8GB the actual limit or could it be that it might take 16GB, it's just that nobody ever tried that? It's DDR2 so I'd imagine it might simply be because 8GB DDR2 sticks don't exist? Thanks!Readynas ultra 2 update problem
On October the first My readynas ultra 2 couldn't get updates for the virusscanner and it wasn't possible anymore to get updates. Also no apps are available and the updates that are running aren't accesable anymore. If i want to update i got the message hostname not solvable.Communication failure check your internet connection, dns- or proxyconfiguration. Has something changed at Netgear and if i reset the Nas to its factory settings have i lost all the shares because the settings were deleted. Can someone tell me more in English or preferably in Dutch because that s my native language. Thank you.
