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+ "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+
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.Solved13KViews0likes3Commentsinstalled 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 Keith12KViews0likes10CommentsUnable 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.11KViews0likes44CommentsReadynas 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.10KViews0likes15CommentsNAS not starting any services #25220444
I had a hard time coming up with a good subject for this problem, since I don't really know what's wrong and how to describe it. Here's the story: Suddenly I noticed that CIFS was not behaving normally. I could browse shares, but not add any files. This can of course be because of a million things, so I figured I try disabling and enabling that service in RAIDiator (4.2.27). So I disabled it and tried enabling it again, but selecting that service and clicking apply does absolutely nothing. The checkbox disappears and nothing more happens. No error message. Weird...? FTP still worked though, at least for browsing. So I restarted the NAS. Then the CIFS service was still off and can't be started and the shares (naturally) disappeared from the network. Uh?! Not only that, but FTP had disabled itself. And, yeah, it won't start either. SSH had stopped working. Addons like Transmission as well won't start. I have Crashplan running on it, which I can't access either, so I don't really know if that starts or not. Browsing via HTTPS still works, so the volume and the shares are still there. Everything looks green. Disks are ok etc. Status display on the front of the NAS seems normal. So I turn to the logs. "No logs exist." Ehh? I try do download all logs anyway and it gives me some XML error message, which I guess is normal when no logs exist. I sure haven't deleted them. So I try the memory test on the boot menu. No problems there. I also try the disk test on the boot menu. Finished fine and the NAS booted up again. So I figure that the OS Reinstall on the boot menu should be able to solve this. Something is very corrupt/weird with how the NAS behaves! I think I managed to download a copy of the settings before I proceeded, since I wasn't sure what would actually be reset, and then I did the OS Reinstall. The only thing that has changed is that the admin password is reset to standard - and I can't even change that. I fill in the fields and try to apply it. And, yes, nothing happens. Then it struck me, maybe it's the browser (Chrome) or something?? So I tried IE as well, but no luck there. Also tried Safari in my phone. I then tried getting SSH to work again by trying to upload that addon file, but I just got "Update file is not valid for this architecture" as error message. So now I'm pretty much stuck here. I'm out of ideas! The NAS says everything is A-OK, but refuses to run anything I want to run on it and it doesn't tell me why. I can't even start rsync, which does not bode well either... Please help! :(8.9KViews0likes47Comments
