Disk reuse after factory default
I am using ReadyNAS RN316. There was some problem occurs ,so I remove the 6 disk(raid5 array created) then factory default. Factory default success and restart. However if I push the 6 disks back to the trays, RN316 starts formating automatically or ditects the array same as before????readyNAS 104 doesn't start properly
Hello community, I'm french so i'm sorry for my english level. Topic: Suddenly my NAS didn't start properly. I pushed on start button and the NAS started but stopped after 2 seconds. I retried but did the same. I have tried to change the electrical plug but didn't change the situation. I have get out the 4 hard drives and the NAS started, booted during 1 min until 100% and writen on the front screen "in safe mode". I tried again installing the 4 hard drives and the problem appeared again. Now i don't access to my datas and i dont know if the hard drives are corrupted or if the problem comes from the NAS itself?! I had the opportunity to get a second identical NAS 104 but i'm afraid to install my hard drives into, starts the Readynas and loose my datas. If i remember well i'm in raid X. My last opportunity is to use RS raid retrieve software but it should be an other story! If anybody has a suggestion please let me know!System not recognized in Windows connection
Perfectly operational ReadyNAS 626 system as of one week ago. Installed and recognized for the past three years. Connected and operational on five different Windows workstations. RAIDar can access without issues A windows browse enumerates/finds the device and lists it in browse window Attempts to access device fail -- error message indicating name might have been misspelled. It finds the system on the browse and lists it's name -- the same name as the past three years. Worked fine until most recent Windows automatic update. Any hint what might have gone wrong? Anybody else having these problems?RAID-5 vs RAID-6 rebuild speed
I have been upgrading disks in my various ReadyNAS units. The 4 bay units are RAID-5 and the 6 bay units are RAID-6. I haven't really seen it discussed here, so I thought I would point out that if you're using RAID-6, the rebuild times are going to be a lot longer than if you're used to RAID-5, due to having to generate the additional parity. For example, I have my RN204 and one of my RN316's. Both are using 7200 RPM drives. Both are going from 4TB to 10TB drives. Both are using FlexRAID. The rebuild speed on the RN204 using RAID-5 is about 95MB/s, whereas the RN316's using RAID-6 is about 30MB/s. I was surprised that the RN316 with its 2 core/4 thread Atom CPU was that much slower than the little dual core ARM in the RN204. I figured that it would be more linear. But, If I remember correctly, my RN516 with its 8 core 2.4GHz Xeon and 16GB of memory was also about 30MB/s using the same 7200RPM drives, it's possible that ReadyNAS OS is artificially limiting the rebuild speed (providing my memory is indeed correct). So nothing earth shattering here, just something I found interesting and thought I'd share.
Shares lost from admin page
My ReadyNAS 212 has lost all shares and I only see: I have looked at other articles mentioning the same, and I have checked I am not running out of space. And also, when I ssh to the system, I can see e.g. /data/Documents and /data/Music are there. The latter is what I really care about with lots of music stored, Documents is empty. If I then try to add a share called Music, it fails as it already exists, but I could e.g. add one called Music2. After doing so, I can manually edit /etc/frontview/samba/shares.conf, and it then shows up on the outside, but still not on the admin page.ReadyNas 6.10.10 kernel header
Hi Is it possible to get the kernel headers for 6.10.10 somewhere? Looks like this is kernel version 4.4.218.x86_64.1. Is it possible to use the kernel headers from 4.19 standard debian? I am trying to compile Python 3.12.2 and it needs sys/random.h header. Kind RegardsReadyNas 104 500 error
Hey Folks! So i forgot my password to get into the readynas (password did not work). I did a os reinstall to reset the password back to default. now when I log in and it asks for the password it seems to work then i get this error. Now when I go to netgear RAIDar and it prompts for the password I try the default and I get this. Hoping someone can help me figure this out!!!
