RN214, query on a 2nd vertical expansion
Hello Forum Simply query, just checking. Can I carry out a “vertical expansion” more than once? I have a RN214 ( 6.10.3, X-RAID) which already went from 4x 4TB to 4x8TB, and I am just about to do it again, going (in stages) to 4x 12TB. If I remember well, OS6 will create another RAID for the “expanded portion” of the disks. This is “unseen” in the normal use, but it can be seen in the volume log, which now has RAID 0 and RAID 1 which contain md0 and md1 respectively. But, if I remember right, that will cause a double resinch operation (maybe just after the 2nd disk is swapped?) So, if it is possible to expand again, and that would create a RAID 2 & md3, woudn’t that require a 3rd resinch? ( that may take weeks, lol ). Many thanks in advance, Berillio

ReadyNAS DUO RND2000V2
I was asked by a friend if I could have a look at her RND2000v2. It was "not working" anymore. I started it at my desk, it began to check the disks and started up as far as I can see. I installed RAIDar and it show the device. When I tried to connect the frontview it gave me an error. It said "unsupported protocol". I edited the Virtual.conf file where I replaced in these lines: RewriteRule ^/admin https by http. Now I get the admin prompt when I use http on the NAS/admin but then I get the error: The requested URL /admin was not found on this server. And I don't know how to get the networkshares visible in the windowscomputer. I directly connected the NAS to the networkport of my laptop on which I have set the ip-range in the same range as the NAS is.Replacement PSU for ReadyNAS 628X
I have two ReadyNAS 628X units. They have done well so far, however, yesterday the PSU gave up (just gone 5 years) in one of the 628X during a cold start and the PSU will need replacing or component level repair. Can anyone advise if there is a standard PSU replacement model on the market from the PC market units that fit into the ReadyNAS 628x?ReadyNAS NV rnv1-s2-0000 can’t connect
Hello everyone- my old ReadyNAS NV (Infrant Ready label) powers up, I can ping it successfully but cannot access the files on the drives. Tried remapping the drives in file manager but the connection fails. I also can’t access the NAS web interface. The status lights on on the front show 4 solid green for the drives, the blue power LED flashes somewhat slowly 12 times then the activity green LED flashes once, then 12 more flashes of the blue power LED, and this repeats. Could not locate any info on what this LED sequence indicates. Any of you know? Is my trusty NAS finally dead? Most data is backed up but I have about 6 months of new data that I neglected to backup that I can hopefully recover. If all else fails can I buy an old chassis and put the drives in there to recover my data or is there another method I can use to recover the data? Any guidance on troubleshooting is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
6001010060 Communication Error
This is a ReadyNAS 516, running OS6 6.10.8 The NAS box is performing just fine on our LAN It is configured on the router to have full WAN access based on MAC address All work stations have full internet access and work fine. And, I have no issue accessing the admin web interface However, on my periodic check for an OS update I received a NEW error message: 6001010060 Communication Error Check your internet connection, DNS Settings, or proxy settings Well there is no proxy and access to the internet is just fine. Any ideas! thanks bcFinding and deleting duplicate files.
I've only just got a readyNAS NV+, after years of using various sizes of usb-connected disks, and now I need to rationalise the thousands of files I've accumulated. Since there are lots of duplicates, that would be next to impossible by hand. I considered using one of the free de-cloning programs for Windows, but that would take days to scan over the whole system, I wouldn't be able to reboot or logout of my local pc, and if there was a network problem I'd have to start again. So I decided to see what could run directly on the ReadyNAS. I've updated the NV+'s firmware, enabled ssh access as root, and installed apt-get as described in the developer's tips. Then on my desktop box I did a google search for the keywords "Debian Etch file duplicate" to see what clone-finding utilities were around. Of the ones I looked at, 'fdupes' seemed simplest and needed fewest changes on the NV+. It's also free :) I ssh'ed to my NV+ and logged in as root, then ran: apt-get update and to see what changes installing fdupes would make I ran apt-get -s install fdupes (don't forget the -s which tells the NV+ to just simulate the install) In my case it showed only one file being downloaded and added, and none being removed or upgraded. That seemed safe, so I went ahead with the install. Your results could be different, so be careful, and don't blame me if you have different results. apt-get install fdupes Everything seemed fine, so I found a small subtree in the directory structure to test it on and ran it to recursively search. On my system it took 1hr 50m to scan just over 67000 files. I suspect it would be quicker with more memory, and I'll re-time it after the upgrade I ordered comes through. The NAS wasn't doing anything else at the time, and fdupes was using about 96% of the available cpu. Some thoughts on how to use fdupes. As it is, there's nothing sensible you can do, as it outputs to screen You can't even disconnect without ending the session. So: Use 'nohup' to tell the session to continue even if you disconnect, and '>' to redirect the output to a text file you can edit later to create a script to delete unwanted copies etc. eg #cd /c/backup #nohup fdupes -1frq * > /c/backupDups.txt & (nb: that's -<one>fr... it says recursively search all directories within the 'backup' directory and send all the results to the named textfile. List each group of duplicates on a single line, omitting the first one found, and don't bother with a progress indicator. The ampersand says 'start this command, then give me a prompt so I can do something else'). Edit the resulting textfile as you wish. You might want to access it from your desktop machine, and load it into a spreadsheet or similar to allow sorting or other processing. If you find your file access is too slow while this is running, use 'top' to see what is loading your processor. You'll see a changing display like: top - 14:07:04 up 1 day, 17:08, 2 users, load average: 0.20, 0.10, 0.40 Tasks: 89 total, 1 running, 88 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 4.5% us, 3.6% sy, 0.9% ni, 91.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 226384k total, 221808k used, 4576k free, 11680k buffers Swap: 255968k total, 30128k used, 225840k free, 93504k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 32630 root 17 0 2992 1680 1328 R 96.0 0.7 1:02.74 fdupes ... The line below the one starting 'PID' shows what is using most resources, but you can make it be more considerate to other processes by 'renicing' it. Within 'top' press 'r' and it will ask which process to renice. In this case it's '32630' so type that number, then when it asks what to renice to, choose a +ve number less than 10. It will show under the 'NI' column. If you want to make something yield processor less, so it will finish quicker, you can also renice to a -ve number. Don't renice anything you've not started yourself, and even then be careful! Use 'q' to exit 'top' Hope that's useful to some of you. maybe a front-end addon could be made?
