I have several ReadyNAS devices running the latest firmware version 6.10.10 (214, 104, 312, etc.). I was able to configure all of them so that, after a proper shutdown and subsequent power off, they wouldn't restart when the power was turned back on. However, I can't do this with this one ReadyNAS 214. After turning on the power, the ReadyNAS starts up with a delay of several seconds. How can I prevent this?43Views0likes4CommentsReadyNas 316 - volumes inactive
I need help trying to recover/fix my NAS system. I noticed I was unable to write anything to it today, so I rebooted it (similar things have happened in the past). After a reboot the NAS comes back up as "healthy" but all the disks are Red and the NAS says all volumes are inactive and wants to remove them. I looked at the webui logs and it looks like after running snapshots the system went into read-only mode. Any help would be immensely appreciated!

As there has been no news for ReadyOS updates in the last... 5? year... It might be time to actually replace the operating system with another Linux. I remember seeing some discussions here about doing exactly that. But with the forum re-organization I could not find that. Specifically: Is there an easy way to just go into BIOS and boot from a USB? Is it better to "permanently" install a custom OS, or just keep using the USB to boot? Is there a Serial or VGA output? Or shall I try to add a VGA card to the internal PCI slot (which means "open" operation)? Thanks in advance!Solved98Views0likes3CommentsBest ReadyNAS Setup for Secure Resume Storage?
I run a job platform 247jobincanada.com and we receive hundreds of resumes and employer documents weekly. I'm exploring ReadyNAS as a secure, on-site storage solution. What's the best setup for automatic backups, user access controls, and remote access that still keeps sensitive data secure?32Views0likes1CommentReadyNAS NV+ won't power up
Yes, I know this is very old but I am hoping... I have replaced the power supply and the on-board battery and there is still no life to it. At this point, I really just want to get the data off the 4x 1T drives but I don't know how to do that short of getting it powered back up. Help anyone? I'm willing to pay for service, if I knew where to go. And to think, I am in the midst of Silicon Valley... Thanks!!Solved101Views0likes4CommentsSpurious UPS Alert?
My first post on the forum, though been a lurker for sometime :) I have installed a ReadyNAS Duo for a small office and also supplied an APC UPS BK350EI (a.k.a. CS-350) Everything is working fine however two weeks after the UPS was installed I have received an email alert:- UPS battery error. Please replace the battery The strange thing is the UPS front panel "Replace Battery" LED is not lit. Has anyone had problems with similar spurious/strange UPS alerts?3.4KViews0likes11CommentsNetgear RNDP6000 in safe mode
My NAS went into safe mode this afternoon. My conclusion is that i might need to re-install the OS. The documentation page on the netgear site is unavailable and i have found some instructions but are not explicit enough to move forward. Could someone please provide detailed instructions as i cannot afford to lose the data on these disks. This NAS had been working fine and for no reason lost contact with the network. I needed to power cycle it and it has set itself to the basic configuration. I can see that the disks are all present and in a RAID 5 configuration.Solved106Views0likes4CommentsOS re-install ... simple and easy !
I'm trying to do a "OS re-install" on my "ReadyNAS DUO v1" and I have found the "How do I access the boot menu on my ReadyNAS Duo / NV / NV+ / X6/600?" As I read the paper a "OS re-install" (NOT affecting the data on the disc !) is done thie way: 1) the system has power ON and running normally 2) the reset switch is pressed for 5 sec and the released the text says something about a LED that will flash 1 time - what LED - I have a LED in the power button, an ACT and one for each drive 1 and 2 ? Can somebody please teach me in this - doing a OS re-instal ?4.8KViews0likes7Comments
