RN-316 Failed boot after update to 6.7.3 - SOLVED (for me at least)
Hi Before I updated my firmware I backed up to my other NAS and mirroered that to its mirror and performed a full tape backup (8TB) Like many others I updated from 6.7.1 to 6.7.3 using the GUI, shut down and the next day had the dreaded mount_block_root+1f1 error I tried the recovery tool and several differnet USB flash drives I turned off turned on, wait for white circle to go dar, press and hold OK, wait for boot from USB, only for it to sit there for many tens of minutes or it says booting and only to say mount_block_root+1f1 error again. I tried the rufus method I downloaded latest rufus-2.15 I copied a version of the USB tool to a directory on my PC. I formated and created a flash drive with syslinux 6.03 copied over the saved files inserted flash drive in front slot under door Booted my RN316 Boot from USB then after about 2 mins Booting..... and then no error, it turns off Removed flash drive It booted to 6.7.4 It performed some housekeeping It booted OK. I've shutdown and rebooted and it seems to be fine. . In future when new firmware comes out, I'm going to wait a week, check the forum and see. My old RND6000 pro has never given me any trouble, nor my Thecus, Qnap or Synology. I guess the domestic netgears are cheaper for a reason.
