ReadyNas NV+ "Kernel Panic"
Hi ReadyNas NV+ RND4000 wont boot, LCD just displays "Kernel Panic" I've performed the memory test twice as recommended in forum threads I've stumbled across. (hold down power button on power-up until 'Memory test' is displayed, then release) Every time I reboot I can't seem to get by 'Kernel Panic' Any suggestions? Thanks :)14KViews0likes23Comments
ReadyNAS NV+ won't power on
Hello: about 6 months ago during an overnight thunderstorm I powered off my Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ (using Frontview -> Shutdown) and once it had switched off I disconnected it from its UPS and went back to sleep. When I returned to it in the morning it wouldn't power on. There are no signs of life at all, I've tried plugging it in, unplugging it again, plugging it back in, and holding down the front button for different durations - all to no effect. There were a couple of previous occasions when I'd turned it off and it didn't immediately come back to life when I pressed the front power button - but mysteriously it did turn on by itself, say, 10 minutes later. Or one time when it refused to switch back on until I'd pressed the power button every day for 2 weeks - then it suddenly sprang back into life again. I've survived without it for 6 months, but I know I'm living on borrowed time. I keep all of my important files on the NV+ (luckily I had copies of the files I really needed on my PC when this all first happened) and I had it running nightly backups to an external hard disk connected to the USB port on the back. I can't know for certain, but I think the power supply must have failed. There are no bad smells or anything like that (my first generation 1 NV went out that way quite spectacularly some years ago), it seems to have died a quiet death - but perhaps the problem lies elsewhere? Anyway, I need to know what my options are (assuming the problem is with the power supply). I can't seem to find a replacement PSU anywhere online. Is there any scope for rigging up a regular PC PSU? I remember some threads on this forum discussing this a while back, but it involved complicated rewiring. Otherwise, does anyone else know where I could source a replacement in the UK? Alternatively, I'd be very glad to hear any suggestions for coaxing the unit back into operation - maybe there are some tricks I'm not aware of at the moment. Thank you very much in advance for your help!14KViews0likes16Comments
ReadyNas NV+
Hi, I need to reset the admin password for my ReadyNAS NV+ unit. The default admin/netgear1 does not work. I've forgotten what I set it to - it's well over six months. I tried the http://<IP-Address>/passwotd_recovery and unfornuately I do not remember the email and/or the answer to the recovery question. How do I reset to factory defaults so I can have access to the box? Thanks.Solved13KViews0likes3CommentsUnable to remove apps
So, this is the second time that this has occurred. Install an app, then when removing it the removal fails and this stops the webportal from loading after boot up. The last time it occurred I had to factory reset the unit. The app in this particular case was Cacti. Would someone like to test this? I have a 102 model on the current software update. Install an app and when it fails to uninstall the webportal fails to load on next boot up.12KViews0likes44Commentsinstalled new router, now I can't access NAS
I have an RND2110 (among other network devices) connected via a Netgear switch to my PC. Another device connected to the switch is a new router. After installing the new router, the IP addresses of many of the attached devices changed, presumably, renegotiated by the new router (much to my surprise). I have this straightened out in most cases, but I can no longer access the RND2110. None of the Windows 7 or 8 PC's connected to the switch can access the NAS anymore. When I run RAIDar, the device is found at the previous IP address, but when I attempt to browse the NAS via RAIDar, a timeout occurs. How can I get my network PC's to be able to access the NAS again? thanks Keith12KViews0likes10CommentsReadynas NV+ V1 - Mounting OS partition in support mode
Hi All, I'm a newbie to the forum but just wanted a definitive answer on whether it's possible to mount the OS partition from telnet support mode to clear up suspected problem log files. Alternatively, is there a way to enable SSH from telnet support mode. I did see an article on mounting the OS partition from support mode but it needed mdadm which isn't available on the NV+ V1. There were other articles talking about using another command fuse-ext3 but that's not there either. How does the boot loader mount the file system under normal conditions ? Are there alternative commands or is it managed by one of the background daemon processes that run ? I know I can do both from FrontView, but that's my problem at the moment the interface login timesout. I can access shares and do everything else just fine, so I suspect the OS partition may be full and is stopping me connecting the Frontview GUI. Advice appreciated. p.s. I know I can do a full factory reset to clear the logs, but I want to keep my data on there if possible (without having to move it away and back). Thanks in advance.11KViews0likes15Comments
ReadyNas 6.2 (NAS locks up entirely)
EDIT BY MODERATOR: Please see the post at the end of the thread: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=456217#p456217 I guess i am not the only one this is happening to! everything worked fine for 6.1.9 (except for my root at 99% problem last month) once I updated, I transferred aprox 2 gigs of information it locks up every time all apps are working fine. as a business owner i have come to the conclusion (with the amount of problems i have been having) ReadyNas is not meant for a reliable means of backing up seems majority of the fixes are "back everything up and factory reset!" I think that answer is as good as telling someone with computer problems to hit there computer a few times and see if it works. now i have gone to support many times yes they are quite helpful but only within 90 days of purchase of the unit! then they insist that i pay for a extension of that support.... i have 3 IBM servers and when there hardware fails (one little problem with a driver one year later) they back up the reseller in making sure my system is back up and running within 48 hours (no they are not leased or have a protection plan) If it wasent for the guys in the forums i would have beaten the system with a bat (please see Office space the movie)... sorry for the rant just truly frustrated with the system :evil:11KViews0likes327Comments
