ReadyNas Duo v1 keeps locking up (inaccessible)
Hello everyone,
My ReadyNas Duo has been running faultlessly for years then suddenly I noticed is was offline in my LAN and I couldn't access Frontview in a browser. The device seemed to have frozen and it wouldn't shut down normally using the power button, I had to pull the cable. When restarting it the fans whirred noisily as usual but it didn't boot up properly and become usable again, Frontview was still inaccessible. the only way I could regain access to Frontview was rebooting with the reset button at the rear depressed and even then the NAS fell over again at some point during the day, I just can't get it stable. here's the system:
Model: | ReadyNAS Duo [X-RAID] |
Serial: | 24M4137000BAA |
Firmware: | RAIDiator 4.1.14 [1.00a043] |
Memory: | 256 MB [2.5-3-3-7] |
![]() | |
IPv4 address:: | 192.168.0.11 |
![]() | |
Volume C: | Online, X-RAID, 2 disks, 50% of 1846 GB used |
After doing some searching here I've enabled SSH and done a 'df -h'
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc1 1.9G 772M 1.1G 39% /
tmpfs 16k 0 16k 0% /USB
/dev/c/c 1.8T 927G 919G 51% /c
It's at this point I'm a bit stumped with what to do next. I've used a bash terminal a bit before in the past but I don't really know how to go about troubleshooting this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Your OS partition looks ok.
Have you gotten the data off the NAS?

No not yet, I don't currently have any means to move the data anywhere. For the relatively brief periods of time I can get it up and running I can browse the shares on the network as normal. i was kind of hoping to address the cause of it falling over without having to move the data off the disks.

Hello VelocityKendal,
Welcome to the community!
It is best you back up the data asap. Then download logs from the FrontView once you get access to it again.
Regards,
