Readynas as VM and build-essential
Ok here is a question. Does anyone know if there are any pre-made VM containers with ReadynasOS6 on them, and with build-essentially already installed into them also? Since apt can no longer get access to Netgear's repos...maybe someone had created a VM with that stuff installed and its still lurking out there somewhere? Alternative question, if ReadynasOS is open source is it availble somewhere such that I could create some kind of VM with some form of linux and build the build-essential package from scratch that way and install it into a readynasVM in order to have a place to build certain things to run on my actual readynas. For example, to build newer version of Python3. I have seen some free made readnas VM images floating around and I haven't tried it yet, but wondering if any of them had build-essential also installed into them. Its doubtful unless the VM image was created along time ago before netgear disabled their apt repos.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 RN1020-100EUS – Cannot detect via RAIDar or default IP after reset/recovery
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. ThankyouReadyNAS DUO RND2000V2
I was asked by a friend if I could have a look at her RND2000v2. It was "not working" anymore. I started it at my desk, it began to check the disks and started up as far as I can see. I installed RAIDar and it show the device. When I tried to connect the frontview it gave me an error. It said "unsupported protocol". I edited the Virtual.conf file where I replaced in these lines: RewriteRule ^/admin https by http. Now I get the admin prompt when I use http on the NAS/admin but then I get the error: The requested URL /admin was not found on this server. And I don't know how to get the networkshares visible in the windowscomputer. I directly connected the NAS to the networkport of my laptop on which I have set the ip-range in the same range as the NAS is.Replacement PSU for ReadyNAS 628X
I have two ReadyNAS 628X units. They have done well so far, however, yesterday the PSU gave up (just gone 5 years) in one of the 628X during a cold start and the PSU will need replacing or component level repair. Can anyone advise if there is a standard PSU replacement model on the market from the PC market units that fit into the ReadyNAS 628x?Restore RAID to ReadyNAS System
How do I restore my ReadyNAS 316 to full RAID? Before this all started I had 5 disk drives, and my recollection that everything was happily RAIDed. I got an error message that Drive 3 was failing, so I plugged in a new 16TB drive into slot 6. Then all went haywire. The attached picture shows how my system looks now. Only 2 drives (both 6TB) are listed as RAID, while the other four drives, including the new one, are gray. Yet the I have two volumes with 15TB on one and 7TB on the other. Does this mean that some of my data is not fully duplicated? And given that four of my drives are listed as not RAID, does this mean that I can't remove them? And what does it mean that I have four inactive volumes? If these four disks are inactive, how do I store 22TB of data on two 6TB drives? I'm really confused. I don't have another system to copy all the data onto. What can I do to get the ReadyNAS to recover? How can I find out what data is on the "inactive" volumes? If I remove them, do I lose data? Thanks. - MalcolmLogon to RN104
I have a problem with my RN104 software version 6.10.5, in that I can't logon to it. I'm on Windows 11. RAIDar finds it okay. I can't ping it, and file explorer can't see it either. Up until recently it has been working fine. I would like to upgrade the software to 6.10.10. Could anyone please point me to where I can find the information to logon to it, and to enable my PC to see it. Regards Keith Dutton (UK)
