ReadyNas NV+ v2 stuck on boot menu (RND4000-200AJS)
I've been using my NAS for 3 years now and it's been great. Rarely an issue and only had to reboot a few times (when drive got full) Today, however, it has decided to die. When I went to use it, the screen on the front of the NAS was blank and I could not power down, so I pulled the plug and pushed it back in. On start-up, the screen went straight to the 'Boot Menu' and stayed that way. I have tried to hold down the reset button and scroll through the options, but it will not move from 'Normal' and I cannot even make it boot up at all. It appears to be stuck on Boot menu. I have tried removing drives (I have 4x WD. 2x 3TB, 1x 1.5TB and 1 2TB) but to no avail. Having searched high and low for answers, I am desperate now. Can I either, reset the firmware to allow me to boot again, or if the box is truly bricked, how do I recover my data? Thanks, MickSolved5KViews0likes8Comments
NV+ v2 backup to USB drive (Seagate 5TB)
I am feeling a bit lost with getting USB drive ready for backups. In the past I just backed up to a RN Duo v1 (my old unit), but it does not have sufficient space anymore. I have a RN NV+ v2, and it seems there is no way to format the USB drive from the Dashboard? OK, I can hook it up to a Mac or Windows PC to format it, that's easy enough. So, I would like guidance on: I have a 5TB Seagate Epansion USB3 drive. What's the best format to use for a backup (NTFS/Ext3/4)? Keeping ownership/permissions I have home video files larger than 4GB (rules out FAT) Directly attach to the RN (preferred by me) or to a Mac/PC - I don't mind just leaving it running to eventually complete Any other pointers ThanksSolved5.3KViews0likes14Comments
